An R interface to the Quarto CLI for rendering documents, previewing, and managing projects directly from the R console.
Quarto is an R package that provides an interface to the Quarto Command Line Interface (CLI), allowing users to perform common Quarto operations directly from the R console. It enables rendering Quarto documents, previewing projects, and automating publishing workflows without switching to a terminal. The package is designed for R users who want to integrate Quarto's scientific publishing capabilities into their R-based scripts and packages.
R users, data scientists, and researchers who use Quarto for creating reports, articles, or books and prefer working within the R environment. It is also useful for package authors who need to programmatically interact with Quarto in their R packages.
It offers a seamless R-native interface to Quarto's CLI, eliminating the need to use a terminal for common operations. This simplifies workflows for R-centric users and enables automation of Quarto tasks within R scripts and packages.
