Multiple output formats

[eteitelbaum]

In R Markdown you can add some code to the YAML header in order to knit to multiple output formats simultaneously, e.g.: rmarkdown::render('your.Rmd', output_format = 'all').

Similarly, in Quarto, you can publish to multiple formats from the console: quarto::quarto_render('your.qmd', output_format = 'all').

I am wondering if it would be possible to make this the default behavior. In other words, the only reason I would have

format:
  pdf: default
  docx: default

in my YAML header is that I would want to publish to .pdf and .docx. So could the team make it so that both output formats are created, rather than having to specify output_format = 'all')?

Closing in favour of #4462 and consider https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-r/issues for the R wrapper package.
