Correct.

You could use speaker notes or use links to slide (back/forth).

As the themes come directly from Reveal.js and that level one and level two slides have different meanings, I don’t believe there is a theme that shows a similar styling for the two.
So you likely need to provide additional (S)CSS to customise the behaviour of level one slides to your own liking.

I don’t know what you mean by vertical slides as in Reveal.js the slides are “vertical” per section.
Press “o” to see the overview.
I believe you are talking about navigation, in that case you can change the mode to switch to the grid or vertical mode (default is linear).

I'm exited to announce a new resource about making slides with quarto and revealjs. This book is the combination of all the work I have done in this area, reordered and polished up

There isn't a lot of new information yet, but this format allows me to add more easily

Regarding the Quarto way, since 1.8, there is a new environment variable that holds a JSON file with all information used.
You can use it in any code cells (not specific to R via knitr) to add condition on many things (as regular if/else).
See github.com/quarto-dev/q... (not documented yet)

It’d become

It depends, if you want to go the Quarto way or still rely on knitr’s feature that happens to work in a limited way inside Quarto?

That’s the specification (unrelated to Quarto): posit-dev.github.io/brand-yml/br...

You can use regular SCSS and give that to “theme” key alongside brand.
But the goal of the brand.yml file is to provide a single file to theme various things.

The usual trick in markdown is to surround with more backticks than the one used. This works for both inline code and code blocks.

`` `{language} code` ``

I don’t have that but clearly willing to advertise it on the list.
It should be doable to search on GitHub for repository using one of the Quarto extensions designed for journals.

Markdown Basics – Quarto

Mickaël CANOUIL, Ph.D. @mickael.canouil.fr · Aug 30

In Markdown, the common best practices are to have empty lines surrounding: headers, list, code blocks/cells, fenced divs.
This linting rule is there precisely to avoid such issues because empty lines ensure the next line is a new paragraph/element regardless of the Markdown parser.
