[Feature request] Chunk echo, output, warnings etc to different tabs

[sorenoneill]

Background

I'm preparing materials for a course on the R ecosystem for PhD students .. so naturally, I prepare my presentations as quarto documents.

I'm currently using callouts with collapse=true .. and it works just fine, albeit the expanding/collapsing does make it a bit difficult for the students follow the plot, when the text moves around with expand/collapse.

Suggested feature

I suggest a feature to split the output generated by a chunk into tabs -- by output I mean i) the text/tables/figures generated by code, ii) the echoed code it self, iii) any warnings or errors.

This would make for a neat way to present code and output in a visually pleasing way in presentations, webpages, etc

How Quarto would guess the type of content in a code cell (R, Python, Julia, Observable, ...)? 🤔

I believe this is more about how you design your slide, using "layout" options (especially in revealjs format`) and "tabset".

Also, you can use classes to add CSS class to a code cell, and you can use any of the class-* and attr-* option to add particular CSS classes or HTML attributes to some specific part, see https://quarto.org/docs/reference/cells/cells-knitr.html.

Another approach if to generate the content how you want it to appear using results: asis and knitr::knit_expand or knitr::knit_child().

This is likely possible to do today with quarto 1.3 and Lua filters. You could start by looking at the Pandoc native output with quarto render --to native, then write a Lua filter that detects the divs and converts them to a quarto.Tabset.
