Quarto can be used with .md files, but in this case no computation engine can be used.

Using a computation engine requires to use .qmd as extension. A Quarto project can mix .md and .qmd file without problem.

• .md files with executable code #3715

compatible with other markdown platforms too?

What Markdown platform are you referring to ? What compatibility are you looking for or expecting ?

Thanks !

Ah Ok, that sounds very cool.

I am evaluating quarto for a technical documentation platform and do not need the computational engine component.

I am using the same set of markdown files for hugo, and direct pandoc commands.

FYI, Quarto supports Hugo.
