Preface

I’ve always been looking for the right tool that would help technical and scholarly writing flow in a Markdown-driven way. Managing figures, tables, equations, and bibliographies. Generating html, latex, or pdf.

I had my own previous hand-rolled projects to do this: markdown-memo, which I was trying to update and trim down into markdown-easy.

Then I discovered the quarto project that is very similar in spirit and has already accomplished a lot of what I was trying to do. And they have a growing community.
