Saving an entire project from qmd.file back to rmd.file

[KennethGottfredsen]

Hi guys,

I want to write simple documents and books in R Studio with Quarto. The main reason is, that I prefer the diverse language integration that Quarto offers, compared to R markdown. My main question is:

Is it possible to save all my files from an entire book projekt or some documents back in the rmd.file?

I'm asking because I have to write an assignment. The requirements are that it has to be delivered in rmd.file format. My main concern is that I have to copy paste everything and get a ton of errors in doing so - and in the process violate make it impossible to reproduce my work.

I hope you guys can help me out.

The only conversion tool in Quarto is from/to Jupyter Notebook.
If you manage to not use really specific features of Quarto, you simply have to update the metadata header (yaml header) to make it work properly with knitr/rmarkdown.

When you say update, do you mean adding a specific function that work with knitr/rmarkdown in the yaml header?

[mcanouil]

I meant, you update/replace the yaml header, e.g., format: html to output: html_document, etc.

Ok thank you for the fast response.

The requirements are that it has to be delivered in rmd.file format.

If your assignment is a Rmd file, I don't think using Quarto features is among the expected output. You could either ask if you can provide a .qmd file instead, or just stick with R Markdown for this project.

Otherwise, what @mcanouil said here. 👍
