Interactive tutorials (with learnr) within Quarto website

[graveja0]

I'm hoping to design a Quarto website for some courses and workshops I am developing this year. However, in browsing through it seems I can create a website with some material (e.g., presentations, static documents, and Shiny apps) but not others (e.g., interactive tutorials created with learnr package). Am I missing something within the current functionality, or is the integration of interactive tutorials in the works? Thanks!

We aren't planning on including interactive tutorials on the short or intermediate term, but I'm sure we will in the fullness of time.

That said, R Markdown / distill / blogdown / pkgdown sites can't really include learnr tutorials (or even shiny apps) directly. Rather, they would use an iframe to embed it. You can do the same thing with Quarto.

@jjallaire , is there a way to at least render a learnr tutorial that is in a website's directory structure? I'm fine publishing it on shinyapps.io, but currently I can't render a tutorial that resides in a Quarto website directory. When I try, I receive the following error:

Error in shiny_prerendered_html(input_rmd, render_args) : 
  Prerendered HTML file not found at exercises/01_introduction/01_introduction.html
Calls: .main ... <Anonymous> -> shiny_prerendered_app -> shiny_prerendered_html
Execution halted

When I render outside of the Quarto website project, it renders fine.

Looks like if I use rmarkdown::run() it renders properly. But is there a way to set up the YAML headers or a _quarto.yml file so that clicking Run Document or pressing ctrl+shift+k will make a learnr tutorial render properly?
