Use a custom format extension template — quarto_use

Install and use a template for Quarto using quarto use.

Usage

quarto_use_template(
  template,
  dir = ".",
  no_prompt = FALSE,
  quiet = FALSE,
  quarto_args = NULL
)

Arguments

template: The template to install, either an archive or a GitHub repository as described in the documentation https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/formats.html.
dir: The directory in which to install the template. This must be an empty directory. To use directly in a non-empty directory, use quarto use template interactively in the terminal for safe installation without overwrite.
no_prompt: Do not prompt to confirm approval to download external extension.
quiet: Suppress warnings and messages.
quarto_args: Character vector of other quarto CLI arguments to append to the Quarto command executed by this function. This is mainly intended for advanced usage and useful for CLI arguments which are not yet mirrored in a dedicated parameter of this R function. See quarto render --help for options.
