Caveats

Note

This list of caveats is incomplete. PRs accepted 😀

  • Quarto is new, but it’s moving fast and the dev team is very responsive to feedback/requests.
  • Using Python 3.11, you will receive Debugger warning: It seems that frozen modules are being used, ...
  • Figure captions are finicky. Sometimes the figure caption will not render. See https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/3525.

Hot reloading preview server

  • Sometimes output directories (.quarto, _site) need to be deleted, e.g. when changing branches.

PDF Rendering

  • Requires a LaTeX distribution; read more. This will cause challenges when installing Quarto with Conda.
  • Won’t work with interactive features Jupyter supports, like interactive representation of objects (e.g. Xarray).
