Quarto - Quarto 1.3

We are happy to announce that Quarto 1.3 has been released. You can grab the current release from https://quarto.org/docs/download/.

If you are ever wondering which version of Quarto you are using, a quick way to check on the command line is:

Terminal

quarto --version

We’ve previously blogged about some of the features of this release that we were most excited about, but let’s highlight them again.

Code Annotation

You can now add line-based annotations to your code blocks using special code comments along with an ordered list. Code annotations work across many formats, and are interactive in HTML-based formats.

To learn more, check out the Code Annotation documentation.

Multi-format Publishing

HTML pages (either standalone or in a website) now automatically include links to other formats specified in the document front matter. For example, the following document front matter:

title: Sample Page
author: Norah Jones
date: last-modified
toc: true
format: 
  html: default
  ipynb: default

Results in an HTML page that includes a link to the additional notebook format in the right margin below the table of contents:

An HTML document with a link to another format

Find out more in the documentation on Including Other Formats.

Jupyter Cell Embedding

Easily include the output of an external Jupyter notebook in a Quarto document with the embed shortcode. Provide the path to a Jupyter Notebook and a cell identifier and the output will be included in your document along with a link back to the source Notebook.

Confluence Publishing

Atlassian Confluence is a publishing platform for supporting team collaboration. Quarto now provides support for publishing individual documents, as well as projects composed of multiple documents, into Confluence Spaces.

To learn more, head to the documentation on Confluence Publishing.
