Using project scripts to keep Quarto source and output files organised
Pete Jones shares a tip for organizing Quarto project files, focusing on separating source (.qmd) and output (.pdf, .html) files when source files are stored in subdirectories. This is a particular challenge due to Quarto's default behavior of placing output files next to their source. The article discusses project-based workflows, the issues with Quarto subdirectories, and leverages Quarto features to solve the problem. A scripted solution is presented to ensure outputs are organized in a specified directory, maintaining a clean project structure even with source files in subdirectories.
