How To Render

1. In RStudio:

Click the Render button OR use the quarto R package:

library(quarto)
quarto_render("my-reproducible-manuscript.qmd") # defaults to html
quarto_render("my-reproducible-manuscript.qmd", output_format = "pdf")

2. Terminal: quarto render (--to [output format])

quarto render
quarto render my-reproducible-manuscript.qmd # defaults to html
quarto render my-reproducible-manuscript.qmd --to pdf

Rendering to Multiple Formats

---
title: "My Reproducible Manuscript"
format: 
  html: default
  docx: default
  pdf: default
---

Then:

library(quarto)
quarto_render("my-reproducible-manuscript.qmd")

OR

quarto render my-reproducible-manuscript.qmd

You don’t have to run separate commands with the --to flag.

Note: the Render button will not work for multiple formats.

For example:

quarto use template quarto-journals/plos
