With Quarto how do I see intermediate md files that lead to revealjs presentation?-CodePudding

I think that quarto renders to markdown on the way to making Revealjs:

qmd > knitr/jupyter  > md >  pandoc > Revealjs

I am curious to see how details like

format:
  revealjs:
    incremental: true

and

    ::: {.incremental}
    
    - Eat spaghetti
    - Drink wine
    
    :::

are represented in the temporary/intermediate markdown file.

In R, I tried:

quarto::quarto_render("slides.qmd", output_format="markdown")

and the "incremental" details are stripped out.

Is there a temporary/intermediate markdown file created on the way to revealjs? If so, how can I see it?

CodePudding user response：

Option 1

You can use debug = TRUE in quarto_render

quarto::quarto_render("slides.qmd", output_format="markdown", debug = TRUE)

Option 2

use keep-md: true in under execute in yaml

---
title: "Untitled"
format:
  revealjs:
    incremental: true
execute:
  keep-md: true
---

## Quarto

::: {.incremental}

- Eat spaghetti
- Drink wine

:::

Then either you can click the render button in Rstudio or run this (what you have tried previously).

quarto::quarto_render("slides.qmd", output_format="markdown")
