📘 👨‍💻 📄 Quarto Markdown Template – Part 2

Quarto Markdown is a powerful extension of the Markdown language, developed to create high-quality scientific and technical documents.

🔷 📄 What is Quarto Markdown?

Quarto Markdown is a powerful evolution of traditional Markdown, designed especially for scientific and technical communication. It allows you to integrate:

Formatted text (with Markdown),
Executable code in Python, R, Julia, Observable,
Charts, tables, and equations with LaTeX,
And the generation of documents in multiple formats.

With Quarto, you can generate:

Interactive HTML pages
Editorial-quality PDF documents
EPUB eBooks
Presentations in Reveal.js or Beamer
Websites, blogs, and much more

🔷 🔍 Comparing: Traditional Markdown vs Quarto Markdown

Feature	Markdown (.md)	Quarto (.qmd)
Basic formatting	✅	✅
HTML support	✅	✅
LaTeX equations	❌ (limited)	✅ (full)
Executable code blocks	❌	✅ (Python, R, Julia, etc.)
PDF/EPUB/Slides generation	❌	✅
YAML support	Limited	✅ (for metadata and project configuration)
Target audience	General	Scientists, educators, engineers, etc.

✅ Summary: Traditional Markdown is great for simple blogs and notes.
Quarto Markdown, however, is ideal for technical and scientific projects with code, math, and visualizations.

🔷 🧑‍💻 Code Blocks

🔷 Python

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 100)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x))
plt.title("Sine Function")
plt.show()

🔷 R

x <- seq(0, 2*pi, length.out = 100)
plot(x, sin(x), type = "l", col = "blue", lwd = 2)

🔷 💻 Displaying Code without Execution in Quarto

In this example, we show a way to display Python code statically, that is, without executing it.

🔷 ✅ Static Code in `python`

::: {.callout-note collapse=true title="💡 Title: Static code with syntax highlighting (collapsed content)"}

```python
# Example of circle area calculation
import math

raio = 5
area = math.pi * raio**2
print(f"The circle area is {area:.2f}")
```

:::

Visualization:

💡 Title: Static code with syntax highlighting (collapsed content)

# Example of circle area calculation
import math

raio = 5
area = math.pi * raio**2
print(f"The circle area is {area:.2f}")

🔷 💡 Callouts (Highlight Boxes)

Quarto provides callouts to highlight important information:

🔷 🔔 Note

::: {.callout-note}
