How to use Quarto in a Next.js website?

[WillemSleegers]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking into the possibility of creating a blog using Next.js and Quarto. I've got a template working in which I have a folder of Quarto documents, which I convert to GitHub flavored markdown format documents, which are then parsed to statically generate the website.

I realize that this results in the loss of a lot of features that Quarto provides, but I'm curious to see what's possible.

I wonder if this is currently the best approach or whether there are other tricks to creating a blog with Quarto documents that does not rely on the website feature that Quarto provides.

How do you convert to GitHub Flavoured markdown? format: gfm?

[WillemSleegers]

Yeah, and I've also added variant: +yaml_metadata_block to keep the YAML meta data.

So, there is not much more you can do here.

Unfortunate!

Which features are you looking for?

I suppose the things I want are:

• Create code blocks (works)
• Show output - Tables (haven't tested)
• Show output - Graphs (works if I change the output directory of files and then do some post-processing on the markdown content to fix the paths to the image files)
• Code folding (seems to work)

I think these are the main things. Right now most seems to work but it's a bit hacky; so I'm wondering whether there are any more straightforward solutions.
