Quarto is the static site generator used to render this site.

It’s documentation is very extensive, and worth reading.

Interesting/Important bits:

Quarto has a built in category system

This enables users to filter documents by types.

Theming: https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-themes.html

At the top right of this page, there is a toggle between light and dark theme. You can edit the _quarto.yml file to edit the themes used.

Plugins/Extensions: https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/

Plugins add functionality to quarto, like being able to embed QR Codes.

Web based slides: https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/

I used Reveal JS slides for the presentation

Under the hood, Quarto uses Pandoc and supports all of it’s features.
