imagePath <- file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "Dropbox/Thesis/Presentation/2023-2024/images/Differentcrops.png")

r fontawesome::fa("bullseye", "black") Learn maths {data-background-image= r imagePath .black-text-slide}

I can´t see the background of the image using this code. Does anyone have a solution? Below is what I got in the slide of the presentation rather that the image background

Learn maths {data-background-image= /Users/jis_casa/Dropbox/Thesis/Presentation/2023-2024/images/Differentcrops.png .black-text-slide}

However, If I do the following (below) it works!!.

r fontawesome::fa("bullseye", "black") Learn maths {data-background-image="/Users/jis_casa/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Thesis/Presentation/2023-2024/images/Differentcrops.png" .black-text-slide}

If I add "Library/CloudStorage" in the path does not work either

"imagePath <- file.path(Sys.getenv("HOME"), "/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/AA_UPM/CLASSES/2023-2024/3_CIHEAM/Quarto_Lecture/images/Differentcrops.png")"

Could you share and format a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? Thanks.

You can share a Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).

````qmd

title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html

This is a reproducible Quarto document using `format: html`.
It is written in Markdown and contains embedded R code.
When you run the code, it will produce a plot.

```{r}
plot(cars)
```

The end.

@elcansaito especially can you at least format your issue correctly ? Guideline at: https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#formatting-make-githubs-markdown-work-for-us
