Description
What are Quarto shortcode extensions? Think of them as powerful little programs you can run in your Quarto docs. I won't show you how to build a shortcode extension during this talk but rather I'm going to take you on a trip across this new ecosystem of shortcode extensions that people have already written. For example, I'll introduce you to the fancy-text extension for outputting nicely-formatted versions of fancy strings such as LaTeX and BibTeX; you'll learn all about the fontawesome, lordicon, academicons, material-icons, and bsicons shortcode extensions that let you add all sorts of icons. This is only a sampling of the shortcode extensions I will present, there will be many other inspiring examples as well.
