{squash}: several quarto to single html

The goal of {squash} is to compile a single html presentation file from multiple independent quarto files.

The main purpose of this is to create custom slide decks from several quarto chapter files.

The resulting revealjs presentation can be themed via quarto extensions.

Installation

You can install the stable version from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("Thinkr-open/squash", ref = "production")

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

remotes::install_github("Thinkr-open/squash", ref = "main")

This package relies on quarto > 1.3 (see its download page).

Play with {squash}

TL;DR

Given the vector qmds containing paths to one or several qmd revealjs presentation, you can use the function compile_qmd_course() to compile a full presentation.

library(squash)

html_output <- compile_qmd_course(
  vec_qmd_path = qmds,
  output_dir = tempdir(),
  output_html = "complete_course.html"
)

Check out the result
