In-depth Interactive Report Authoring with Quarto

In-depth Interactive Report Authoring with Quarto

Part of the Spring 2025 CCIDM Virtual Workshop Series, this hands-on session dives into Quarto’s powerful HTML-authoring capabilities. Faculty experts and MSDM students guide you through advanced formatting options, code-block controls, interactive features, and custom styling, giving you a single, maintainable pipeline from analysis to publication.  

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to convert plain reports into dynamic documents, manage citations and cross-references, hide or fold code intelligently, and style pages with Sass—skills that let students, educators, and marketing professionals produce professional-grade reports fast.

 

Learning Outcomes 

  1. Convert students’ existing plain class project reports to dynamic HTML reports using Quarto
  2. Format documents in Quarto with common formatting tasks (e.g., toc-location, cross-referencing, tabsets, citation management, etc.)
  3. Control the behavior of code blocks for common reports (e.g., hiding/folding code blocks, handling code overflow, handling errors, etc.)
  4. Be familiar with common themes to apply for HTML documents
  5. Style your HTML document with SCSS
