I just led a workshop on Quarto with @physaliacourses.bsky.social which I’ve now made public. I’m sharing the full source code to demonstrate advanced features: extensions, brand.yml styling across formats, and full CI/CD via GitHub Actions. github.com/mcanouil/mas...

I'm happy to announce a new and improved version of my quarto revealjs extension that interfaces with roughnotation

More annotation types, fragment support, works with flourish extension to allow for annotations of code chunks, and reverse animations are all here

What Quarto extension would make your workflow easier?

There are already almost 300 extensions browsable at m.canouil.dev/quarto-exten... and installable via Quarto Wizard at m.canouil.dev/quarto-wizard/.

Drop your ideas below.
If there's enough interest, I might just build it.

Sometimes you wish you could install just what you need.
Soon, you'll be able to cherry-pick exactly which extensions you want from a repository, instead of accepting the entire bundle.
(Some Quarto extensions do share multiple sub-extensions 😉)
