How to produce .tex file directly from .qmd file in command line?

[Serenade600]

In order to quickly convert article.qmd to article.tex without generating article.pdf, I tried the following in command line:

quarto pandoc -f markdown -o article.tex  article.qmd

. But the output article.tex seems different from the article.tex produced by rendering. The citation part in the two .tex files differ. Can anyone help me? Any comment is appreciated.

You should be able to use quarto render which will use all of quartos features. Like

quarto render article.qmd --to latex

When you use quarto pandoc you are running pandoc directly and no quarto features are available.

Hth!

You can set the format directly in your Quarto document header.
