Change rendered file type from Quarto in RStudio


I have been a R Markdown user and want to try Quarto.

In RStudio, you can select the output file type easily from the dropdown menu shown below (pdf, html, word).

If I use Quarto, there is no such an option. I have to manually change format: pdf to format: html in the file. Is there an option similar to R Markdown?

Solution

  • This is described in the docs: https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/authoring/rstudio.html#rendering

    Simply add the desired formats to the YAML and the dropdown menu should now appear next to the Render button.

    title: "test"
    format:
      html: 
        code-fold: true
        html-math-method: katex
      pdf:
        geometry: 
          - top=30mm
          - left=30mm
      docx: default
