I could not get the inline code with to render.

This works:

But this does not:
{r} nrow(mpg)

@darrell-sonntag Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? The goal is to make it as easy as possible for us to recreate your problem so that we can fix it: please help us help you! Thanks.

I cannot reproduce your claim.

Note that Quarto engine automatic detection only works with code cells, not inline code. So if you use only inline code, knitr in your case won't be used leading to no computation.
To explicitly set the engine, set engine: knitr.

Note that this is documented:

• https://quarto.org/docs/computations/inline-code.html#engine-binding

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

@mcanouil , thanks for trying to help me.

Here's what I'm running:

---
title: "Inline prob"
engine: knitr
---

```{r}
#| label: load-packages
#| echo: false

library(ggplot2)
```

There are `{r} nrow(mpg)` observations in our data.

Any other data that I can share?

I'm sure it is something on my computer, but I can't figure it out. It renders when I run the second line, but not the first.
I just installed the newest version of Rstudio. But the first inline codes is still not rendering.

[mcanouil]

Since the knitr syntax works, I'm going to guess: you are running an old version of Quarto like 1.3 or even before.
I highly suggest you upgrade your Quarto version.

[darrell-sonntag]

I reinstalled Rstudio, but that didn't seem to do it. Do I have to separately install quarto?

[mcanouil]

RStudio embeds one version of Quarto but not necessarily the latest.

You can check the version you have by opening a terminal in the IDE and typing quarto --version.

If you want all the features, you need to install Quarto CLI v1.6.40 which is the latest stable version to date.

[darrell-sonntag]

I was on quarto --version
1.3.450

Now, I'm on 1.6.40, and it's working.

Thank you @mcanouil
