quarto-cli VS tinytex

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)?

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.

You should ask in the Quarto discussion group on their GitHub. They are extremely reactive if you can give a MWE.

Some of the others have mentioned other installs, but they can pull down a lot of packages which might not be ideal if it's not your PC (even the TexLive install is quite chonky.) I'd personally recommend: TinyTex.

See https://yihui.org/tinytex

that will install a lightweight latex distribution ready to render your rmarkdown documents. just restart rstudio and give a try after this process (for more stuff, see https://yihui.org/tinytex/ )

Have you tried the things mentioned at the link? https://github.com/yihui/tinytex/issues/24

There is the tinyTeX distribution which was designed for use with R, but can be used on its own as well. It's a subsetted version of TeX live and available from https://yihui.org/tinytex/

If you'd like to install only a small subset of packages, there are projects like TinyTeX.

Tinytex is a relative new Latex distribution by Yihui Xie from the R community. The distribution is tiny, less than 100mb, which is a great alternative to TexLive and MikTex for basic users.
