Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system designed for creating reproducible documents, presentations, websites, and books. Built on Pandoc, it uses Markdown to combine written content with executable code, visualizations, and computational results. The platform integrates with Python, R, Julia, and JavaScript through Jupyter, Knitr, and Observable. Authors can produce polished publications in formats such as HTML, PDF, Word, and presentation slides. Quarto provides advanced writing capabilities, including citations, cross-references, equations, figures, and callouts. Its project system supports consistent formatting and publishing across collections of documents. The software works with popular development environments, including VS Code, RStudio, and JupyterLab.
