"But it's surprisingly challenging to publish books on the web in nice, cohesive, tight, easy-to-navigate HTML format." Quarto is one great option for doing that today. Bonus: it can also generate EPUBs and PDFs, all from one set of source files. https://quarto.org/ It's free and open source. https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli Example books: https://wesmckinney.com/book/ https://jjallaire.github.io/hopr/
In 37signals announces next ONCE product: Workbooks, to release for free
Hello, I have a rather specific question. I want to write a detailed tutorial (as HTML page) and a condensed version of it (as Reveal JS slides) from a single document. I have found this suggestion[1] to specify the separate output file name for the slides in the header, and `quarto render myfile.qmd` will generate both. Is there a way to include content (long form text, code, or images) that will only be exported in the HTML page but not in the slides (where space is more limited)?

> I asked on the Mac OS mailing forum, but no response. I don't know what forum you're referring to. We monitor our GitHub discussions very closely, though: https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/ > How well does this work w/ a TeX-oriented editor? Say TeXshop? Quarto can produce .tex output from .ipynb or .qmd inputs, which can then be further edited directly in your text editor of choice (TeXshop, or even something like overleaf) should you want to.

Excellent question. My understanding is that Pluto has its own execution engine outside of Jupyter, and so would require the creation of a new "engine" in our codebase. We are a pretty lean team that has other priorities for 2024, but we would very much love to see Pluto running in Quarto. There is an open PR right now (https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/pull/8645) to add a Julia-native engine to Quarto, from the developers of Makie which we hope to merge soon. I don't think that will provide instant Pluto support, but it will certainly make it easier for other Julia-native folks to build on.
