Introduction to Quarto web
1 Overview
Quarto is a publishing system/engine based on Pandoc and uses its variation of markdown as its underlying document syntax. Pandoc markdown is an extended and slightly revised version of John Gruber’s Markdown syntax.
Markdown is a plain text format that is designed to be easy to write, and, even more importantly, easy to read:
A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. – John Gruber
This document provides examples of the most commonly used markdown syntax. See the full documentation of Pandoc’s Markdown for more in-depth documentation.
