Continous HTML output with multiple source files

[dmenne]

With bookdown::html_document2 I can work on individual Rmd files by commenting the unused files, and get ONE long contiguous HTML file when in the end all are uncommented.

rmd_files: [
  "index.Rmd"
    ,"Exclusion.Rmd"
#    ,"Demographics.Rmd"
#    ,"Genotype.Rmd"
]

By default, Quarto always creates multiple files and inserts paging code.

How can I get one contiguous file with Quarto?

Use the include shortcode, see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/includes.html.
Comments are HTML comments.

---
title: Title
format: html
---

{{< include index.Rmd >}}
{{< include Exclusion.Rmd >}}
<!-- {{< include Demographics.Rmd >}} -->
<!-- {{< include Genotype.Rmd >}} -->

You can make a feature request¹, where you explain what you'd like, why it's needed, and suggest possible ways to implement it (user side mostly).

Here is a workaround based on the knitr engine:

---
title: Title
format: html
qmd-files:
  - part1.qmd
  - part2.qmd
---

```{r}
#| output: asis
cat(
  sapply(rmarkdown::metadata[["qmd-files"]], knitr::knit_child, quiet = TRUE),
  sep = "\n"
)
```

Interesting concept! I fear that could result in difficult to trace errors, so let's consider it a proof-of-workaround.

You can improve the code, for example add some messages in the sapply loop to let you know which file is being processed.
