More Typst & Quarto Content Incoming! 🥳
Three weeks ago, I started my new data report series. I'm sharing lots of learnings from my most common client requests.
This week, I'm playing around with a new demo style. (Showing off my Excalidraw skills 🤣)
Stay tuned and let me know in the comments how you like this new format.
New videos coming out every Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 4pm German time.

I've been a bit slow on my YT release calendar lately. That was mostly due to time prepping my Quarto workshop. But that's done now, so we'll have THREE VIDEOS this week 🥳
I think this will be a good week for fans of polished data reports. Feel free to let me know in the comments. 😊
Video releases will be Mo, Wed, Fr at 4pm German time ✌️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the workshop yesterday ❤️
I had a lot of fun putting together the Quarto puzzle in front of you. For those of you who missed the fun and want to fix that, there are still a few seats for our workshop that starts in less than 24 HOURS. 🤗

📆 LAST CALL (Workshop 1)
The first out of two workshops starts in less than 24 HOURS and registration for the live session closes soon.
If you’ve been meaning to grab a seat but kept telling yourself “later”, this is the nudge that later is basically now. 🤗

Lua filters always follow the same three steps:
1️⃣ Find the target element
2️⃣ Do as little Lua work as possible to assemble arguments for a Typst function
3️⃣ Stick those arguments into a Typst function and pass the corresponding code off to Typst
And the cool part: It’s only this transition from Quarto to Typst that’s troublesome. Inside Typst, you have access to the vast sea of extensions that do a lot of heavy lifting for you.

I really, really, really love the idea of brand.yml. But I try to avoid it as much as possible 😭
The abstraction layer behaves unexpectedly whenever I try to use it in any way that is not demonstrated in the demo examples. Unfortunately, that happens all the time when I create Quarto templates for clients.
Instead, I go down the slightly more tedious but straightforward way of letting Typst create a theme for PDF outputs and CSS a theme for HTML outputs.
🔗 A bit of annoying duplication but way less struggle. If you want to learn more, I've shared that here:

Lua is the glue that Quarto uses to bring content to Typst. But it's not straightforward. So I've untangled the steps: 👇

If you want to create beautiful PDF reports you need Typst. Even if you're a Quarto user. After all, Quarto passes the content off to Typst which then creates the PDF.
My upcoming Quarto + Typst workshop will focus on the concepts that glue Quarto, Typst and HTML output together.
But it sure helps if you know Typst. So if you want to get a head start, all workshop participants get 50% off my Typst course.
