How to apply CSS style to Quarto output-CodePudding

I would like to apply a style to Quarto chunk output.

The first thing I made was to embed some CSS properties in a class .output in the Quarto document and then referenced it with :

```{r class.output="output"}
```

It worked, but I think it's not very efficient because I have to write it within each doc.

So I wrote a class .output with some CSS properties in a custom.scss file, but now

```{r class.output="output"}
```

doesn't work.

So where and how have I to declare it?

Many thanks!

Using a CSS style file to define CSS properties for quarto chunk output should suffice unless you want to build a custom theme (and in that case, you should use SCSS)

So write the CSS properties for a class selector in a styles.css file and use css YAML key to refer to this styles.css from a quarto document file.

style.css

.output {
  color: green;
  background-color: black;
}

quarto-doc.qmd

---
title: "Output-style"
format: 
  html:
    css: styles.css
---

```{r}
#| class-output: output

x = "hello quarto"
print(x)
1   1
```

You can add options to executable code like this

```{r}
#| class-output: output

2 * 2
```

Now for the case of SCSS, to refer to a scss file, you need to use theme yaml key instead of css.

custom_style.scss


/*-- scss:rules --*/

.output {
  color: green;
  background-color: black;
}

quarto-doc.qmd

---
title: "Output-style"
format: 
  html:
    theme: output_style.scss
---

```{r}
#| class-output: output

x = "hello quarto"
print(x)
1   1
```

And the output is similar as the above.
