Quarto the Assassin

Jeffrey Racine

Department of Economics Working Papers from McMaster University

Abstract: My interest in open source research tools has a long arc, and the tools I adopt evolve as new and improved approaches surface (Racine and Hyndman 2002; Meredith and Racine 2009; Racine 2012). A recent development brings to mind overused superlatives like “game-changer”, among others, and I suspect you will agree “100%” that one recent development belongs in either the “Assassin” or “Saturn” category, or perhaps both (the latter being associated with consuming one’s progeny as prophecy had it that Saturn would be overthrown by one of his sons, so in response, he devoured them upon birth). In this Chapter we examine how Quarto can be used to create dynamic reveal.js presentations that are simply unrivalled, anywhere, period (“100%”, a “game-changer”). As such, and particularly for those accustomed to the Beamer slide format, the adoption of these new tools may be of particular interest. This document, naturally, is authored in Quarto, and the Quarto script for this document and the reveal.js slides discussed below are available at https://github.com/JeffreyRacine/rch.
