I wholeheartedly recommend markdown. I have been using it for years to create both html (my website, blog, course website stat447.com, ...) and pdf (slides for talks and lecture, papers, memos, ...) Mostly I run it in a fairly pedestrian way via a script render.r (which is at https://github.com/eddelbuettel/littler/blob/master/inst/examples/render.r but you also get by with a single Rscript invocation). (For some ad-hoc things I do bring up an editor that can render "live": atom did that, code does too, I presume positron (as a code derivative) can do too.) Quarto is no different: you just invoke a different (more powerful but slower) engine to 'render'. While I have had quarto installed for years, I have had no reason yet to switch. I may one day. Or maybe I won't. The key is -- very much as some ESS document that *really* influenced me said decades ago -- that "the source is key". Write down you markdown (or Rmarkdown or qmd) and use whatever engine you find suitable to render it.
