Equivalent in Quarto of Rmarkdown message = FALSE for code chunks?

[lucygarner]

Hi,

Is there an equivalent in Quarto of Rmarkdown message = FALSE for code chunks? I don't seem to be able to suppress messages in the output html file?

Best wishes,
Lucy

Hello,

The same option as in rmarkdown can be used. The next code chunk won't show any warning and message in the rendered document.

```{r}
#| warning: false
#| message: false

summary(iris)
```

Thanks, can you set it globally using knitr::opts_knit$set as you can with Rmarkdown?

I tried to use message: false in the YAML header but it was ignored when rendering the .qmd.

execute: 
  echo: false
  message: false

Normally it should work. I used the same syntax in the _quarto.yml file that does with a quarto website.
Maybe you can remove the "execute;" part for the yaml?

I just tried it and it work without the execute:

---
title: "test"
format: html
editor: visual
warning: false
message: false
---

## Quarto

```{r}
warning("warning")
message("message")
cat("cat")
```

Thank you - I will give that a try. I was following the recommendation here: https://quarto.org/docs/computations/execution-options.html.
