How is this different from Quarto [0]? Quite similar in name, same extension, appears the same aims, but at the minute less functionality.

I guess that the similarity of the names come from different places, and in this case might be a remembrance of QuarkXPress. It's convergent evolution! :D

Was going to ask the same question. Was talking to a friend just 2 days ago who redid all his lecture scripts with quarto and embedded the lecture presentations. Looked neat. Also that quarto interacts well with R studio and jupyter notebooks comes as a big plus.
