How to render a project file as if it were a single qmd file?

[aborruso]

Hi,
I have a quarto website project, in which in example I have the top and the side menu.

Is there a way to render in HTML a single qmd file I have in this project, as if it were a single qmd file, and in example not to have all the menu items I have in the side and without the top bar?

Thank you

You can suppress the sidebar / navbar on a page using:

sidebar: false
navbar: false

Would that work?

Yes, thank you

@dragonstyle Can I add these in some way also via cli, without modifying the source file?

[dragonstyle]

You can pass them via a metadata file. I made:

no-nav.yml

sidebar: false
navbar: false

and then used:

$ quarto render test.qmd --metadata-file no-nav.yml

This should do it without needing to actually modify the file!
