2.2.4 Rendering

Use the Render button in the RStudio IDE to render the file and preview the output with a single click or keyboard shortcut (⇧⌘K).

If you prefer to automatically render whenever you save, you can check the Render on Save option on the editor toolbar. The preview will update whenever you re-render the document. Side-by-side preview works for both HTML and PDF outputs.

2.3 JupyterLab

  • ipynb vs. qmd: from now on Quarto document usually means qmd but things translate to ipynb – orient for qmd-specific language throughout book and how that translates to ipynb * and maybe another chapter somewhere specifically about this if this gets too long

2.4 VSCode

2.5 Choosing a tool

  • whatever you already use
  • one possible criterion: visual editor with various tools and mention how it will be called out
