Why Quarto?

Quarto is one of Posit’s latest multi-language reporting offerings. Having been rigorously developed by the team at Posit as the ‘successor’ to R Markdown, the framework offers full backwards compatibility with the original features of R Markdown, along with new features such as language support for Python and Julia, formats such as RevealJS presentations, HTML, PDF, Microsoft Word, even website and ebook formats! You can even use Quarto documents as an environment for your data science experimentation, thanks to the multi-language integration which allows you to run code directly from the Quarto document itself.

The framework also uses a rich Markdown syntax to provide access to powerful technical and scientific notations such as equations, citations, figures, cross-references, advanced layouts and more. Quarto documents can easily be automated and published to online services such as Posit Connect or Confluence whenever your data changes.

You can be sure that your Quarto documents will be fully reproducible, easily extendable with insightful visualisations, and easily shared and updated to communicate your findings to the decision makers who need them most.
