Session 3 – Quarto and the reproducible document

Every page on this site is a Quarto document, and so is the report that you fill in on the workshop day. The module shows what a .qmd file is, what rendering does to it, and how code, prose, figures and citations are kept together in one file.

Work through	What you do	Timing
Quarto and reproducible documents	The .qmd file and the render step, the YAML header, code chunks and the options that matter, and figures and tables with cross-references.	90 minutes
Quarto and reproducible documents	The citation and bibliography sections, worked on the references.bib file that this site itself uses, then the closing note on publishing a document.	45 minutes

By the end of the session you have one rendered document of your own containing a figure produced by code, a table, a cross-reference to each, and a citation resolved from a bibliography file.
