# Preface {.unnumbered}

This is my first Quarto book. For now, I'm just using it for some experimentation. Eventually, I will probably want to add all of this to a GitHub repository. Right now, Olivia is in class and I'm content with just experimenting a little bit.

This is **not** my new R Notes book; although, I may move R Notes over to Quarto at some point. This is purely just a sandbox for playing with Quarto books.

## Rendering

You can render the files by clicking the Render button in RStudio. To render the HTML and PDF files at the same time, type `quarto render` into the terminal. You can also render Quarto files with a native R code chunk.

- The input argument: The input file or project directory to be rendered (defaults to rendering the project in the current working directory).

- The output_format argument: Target output format (defaults to "html"). The option "all" will render all formats defined within the file or project.

````
```{{r}}
#| Render with R
#| eval: false
quarto::quarto_render(output_format = "all")
```

## Publishing to GitHub pages

[This article is great](https://quarto.org/docs/publishing/github-pages.html).

- Make sure you are on the main branch.
- After rendering (see above), make sure to save and **commit** your changes to GitHub. 
- Type `quarto publish gh-pages` in the terminal.
