Thanks for this video, it helped me understand better why there are two systems for doing the same thing
Glad it helped! Which one wound up being the better system for you?
@@spacedataguy Definitely going with Quarto, seems to be the state of the art of reporting
For me one of the biggest differences is that a Rmarkdown file rendered from R has access to all variables of the calling R session whereas Quarto does not, so that you have to either do all the calculations in quarto or save the output of calculation so rds and load them in quarto.
That's an interesting point. Usually, static reports are written in a way to ensure repeatability. What would be a sample use-case where you would want to access session variables not explicitly stated in the document?
Thank you for the short to-the-point video. Obviously we all have varying demands here and thinks could be said about details. For many, a good interaction with figure captions and Zotero or the availability of good templates could be more important then a mix of languages. When I decided to make the transition from Rmd to Quarto I encountered Problems with my RStudio installation and Quarto which thwarted my excitement. This has been fixed now so transitioned half-way, mostly using Quarto as if it were RMarkdown. Maybe your video will be the opportunity for me to dive deeper into the differences and make more use of the advantaqges that come with Quarto.
Have you got any inclination to make a video about good templates?
Good point about Zotero. The RStudio integration is excellent. A bit challenging in VS Code.
I haven't looked into templates. Any specific ones you have in mind?
@spacedataguy Not really. I found my quarto not numbering figures and tables - obviously, that can be switched on - and I have seen that Frank Harrell has his template downloadable on his page so I wondered a) is there a world of fantastic templates that I am not aware of? b) how do I make Harrell 's template my standard in RStudio and c) is there something comparable to tufte for quarto? That kind of things.
@@HarmonicaTool great questions! RMarkdown had a way to reference templates. I'm sure Quarto does, too. I haven't looked into it, though.
