Author a Quarto source document

Generate a QMD source file

Quarto generation is browser-safe text lowering. It preserves Quarto-native callouts and labels and embeds Graphics as inline SVG; Quarto itself is only needed when the emitted source is built.

Runnable RiXRun cell

.Plugin.Load("quarto"); report := .Fragment([ .Heading(1, "Exact report"), .Callout({= variant="note", title="Policy", children=[.Paragraph("Values remain exact until rendering.")] }) ]); .quarto.Render(report, {= title="RiX report", author="RiX", format="html" }).Get("content");

Metadata can be supplied directly or under metadata. Recognized fields are title, author, date, and format; format defaults to html.

• Browser: complete QMD source generation.
• CLI: no external tools to emit .qmd.
• Options: title, author, date, format, or a metadata map.

Emit subsidiary figure assets

Inline SVG remains the portable default. For a project that manages figures as files, choose deterministic external SVG assets. A capable CLI host can also choose assets="png".

Runnable RiXRun cell

.Plugin.Load("svg"); .Plugin.Load("quarto"); figure := .Graphics.Graphic([120, 80], [ .Graphics.Circle([60, 40], 24, {= fill="#0c7b7f" }) ]); document := .Fragment([.Figure(figure, "An external circle", "circle", "Circle")]); result := .quarto.Render(document, {= assets="svg", assetDir="figures" }); [result.Get("content"), result.Get("assets")];

Asset names are stable in encounter order (figure-1.svg, figure-2.svg, and so on), and .Out writes them beside the QMD under assetDir.
