  • Haven’t ventured beyond into styling


Imagine

You are doing

weekly reports

at work

and the

higher ups

want you to use the

corporate design

styling can be daunting

but it doesn’t have to



I have

the

opposite

problem

I spend

too much

time

writing slides

The most with little effort



you can go far

with styling using

minimal changes

colors

fonts

sizes

How do you write a theme?


It will depend on format



latex - html - powerpoint - other?



Done differently for different formats

🤫 unified branding with quarto 🤫

## Quarto

Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code into a finished document. To learn more about Quarto see <https://quarto.org>.

## Running Code

When you click the **Render** button a document will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code. You can embed code like this:

::: {.cell}

```{.r .cell-code}
1 + 1
```

::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}

```
[1] 2
```


:::
:::

You can add options to executable code like this

::: {.cell}
::: {.cell-output .cell-output-stdout}

```
[1] 4
```


:::
:::

The `echo: false` option disables the printing of code (only output is displayed).
