Quarto is the next generation of RMarkdown. It's designed to bring the power of RMarkdown to folks who don't write R code, ie Python and Julia users.

Quarto isn't quite ready for prime time, which is why we're not yet teaching it in the course. The good news is that writing Quarto documents is almost exactly the same as writing RMarkdown documents, as demonstrated in the video below. I've also included the code for each document below the video.

RMarkdown

---
title: "RMarkdown"
output: html_document
---

```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE, warning = FALSE, message = FALSE)
```

```{r load-packages}
library(tidyverse)
library(skimr)
```


We **format** text inside of documents exactly the same between RMarkdown and Quarto.

The code chunk below has a custom code chunk option:

```{r, echo=TRUE}
msleep %>% 
  skim()
```

# Using default chunk options

This one uses the defaults

```{r}
msleep %>% 
  count(vore)
```

Quarto

---
title: "Quarto"
format: html
echo: false
message: false
warning: false
---

```{r load-packages}
library(tidyverse)
library(skimr)
```

We **format** text inside of documents exactly the same between RMarkdown and Quarto.

The code chunk below has a custom code chunk option:

```{r}
#| echo: true
msleep %>% 
  skim()
```

# Using default chunk options

This one uses the defaults

```{r}
msleep %>% 
  count(vore)
```
