How to change the rendered file path in Quarto books

[maelle]

Say I have a chapter file called abb-blurb.qmd.

How can I make the corresponding HTML file something else than abb-blurb.HTML? Do I need to use a YAML field in the file?

Yes, you use the output-file YAML option for this.

Thank you!! Should this be reminded in https://quarto.org/docs/books/book-structure.html?

Actually, I can't render this book https://github.com/maelle/quarto-outputpath/ that corresponds to an RStudio Quarto book project, with the only tweak being in https://github.com/maelle/quarto-outputpath/blob/main/intro.qmd

Okay we'll take a look right away!

[maelle]

no hurry, and I might well have overlooked something

[maelle]

I'm using the dev version btw.

The fix for this should be landing soon:

Thanks for letting us know!
