Continued thread

Bernard Angele is back at the lectern #WoReLa1 with their own talk this time on "Low sampling rate is not an obstacle to making reading research more accessible". The #Quarto slides* are available here bangele.quarto.pub/worela2025/ and they include rather hilarious distorted maps of the world illustrating the geographical distribution of #eyetracking studies on reading. Less hilariously, it turns out that, up until recently, the vast majority of eyetracking studies were carried out in the US and West Europe on major European languages. Now studies on Chinese in China are changing the picture, but still eyetracking reading studies are still limited to very few languages.

* Also, it turns out that using #QuartoPub to host Quarto slides is not only useful to share slides with the audience and on social media, but also to easily switch computer when the presenter's laptop can no longer connect with the temperamental projector.

Help kind people: Any ideas why I'd be getting an error like this when trying to render a Quarto blog on a Linux server recently updated with R and RStudio? I've been trying to track this down for hours. The file doesn't have any <

#QuartoPub

Quarto 1.7 is here! 🎉

Now you can easily add light/dark mode to your projects with brand files and control which computational outputs appear in each mode with the new renderings option.

See it in action on quarto.org and learn more: quarto.org/docs/blog/posts/202

QuartoQuarto 1.7 – QuartoQuarto 1.7 brings big improvements to dark mode along with updates to Typst, Pandoc, a new version shortcode, and improvements to the julia engine.

I got nerd sniped by @petejones . It is possible to have Neovim running in a container and use it as an IDE with R REPL, Quarto HTML preview, and a plot viewer. Possible, but not exactly beautiful.

I blogged about it: jimgar.github.io/posts/interac

Be warned that the container has not really been stress tested.

The solar-powered Quarto project is making progress. The pre-render python script to dither and downsize images works :).

Context:
Quarto is a scientific/ technical publishing system. Among other things, it allows you to create static websites from a mixture of R/ Python/ Julia/ ObservableJS and Markdown. I'm trying to create a Quarto setup for a static website with a very minimal footprint to run on a small solar-powered server.

Once upon a time, in the land of Quarto, there lived a wise and benevolent Quarto Wizard. One day, whilst exploring the ancient libraries, he stumbled upon a magical listing of Quarto extensions. Recognising its immense value, he decided to share it with the people. With a flick of his wand, he made it possible to install these extensions with just a few clicks.

Today's diversion: turning my team's internal documentation wiki into a #QuartoPub book we can share with other folks in the organisation.

Ended up being about ~200 lines of #RStats to translate Azure Devops' wiki file structure into something that Quarto can render. Seems to work pretty well currently when targeting a HTML book, but leaves something to be desired when rendering to docx.
