    Hello, I have a rather specific question.

    I want to write a detailed tutorial (as HTML page) and a condensed version of it (as Reveal JS slides) from a single document.

    I have found this suggestion[1] to specify the separate output file name for the slides in the header, and `quarto render myfile.qmd` will generate both.

    Is there a way to include content (long form text, code, or images) that will only be exported in the HTML page but not in the slides (where space is more limited)?

  • Quarto document rendered via quarto::quarto_render(): How to implement citations?

    I had some trouble following this but I think what you're saying is the ` [@Bernhofer2021.02.23.432527]` tag isn't getting converted to the actual bib reference - is that right? I just copied this into my system and I could make that part work fine - using my own .bib file of course, and I used this csl which I copied locally. The one change I made to the setup was to put both the .bib and the .csl file in my working directory where the .qmd file is, and also as I commented on a different post of yours from the other day, I make sure there's no spaces in the path to my working directory (for either the folder names or the filenames). So for me, everything is in C:\Users\xxxx\workingdir - this is due to a known RStudio issue with spaces. Who knows if that's what you're running into or not.
