Generating both the HTML and ipynb output for a profile

[jlperla]

Description

I have a profile file such as a _quarto-lectures.yml

project:
  type: website
  output-dir: .lectures_output
  render:
    - lectures/index.qmd
    - lectures/intro.qmd
    - lectures/python.qmd
search: false
website:
  title: "Example Quarto Slides"
  navbar:
    left:
      - href: index.qmd

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    css: styles.css
    toc: true

I want to output the HTML and also a ipynb verison of it.

RIght now I manually go

quarto render --profile lectures 
quarto render --profile lectures --to ipynb --no-clean

Is there a way to modify my file to make this happen automatically when I go quarto render --profile lectures ? A post-render, etc.?

Did

format:
  html:
    theme: cosmo
    css: styles.css
    toc: true
  ipynb: default

not do the trick?

It should work as it's also the example for format-links: https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-multi-format.html

If it does not work at the project level, _metadata.yml inside subdirectories does, as well as document-level.

Thanks. So simple, not sure why I was confused.

It didn't work at the project level, but I put the ipynb: default in my indiviudal qmd files and it now outputs both the revealjs and the ipynb.

If you have a directory with Quarto documents, you can avoid repeating using _metadata.yml.

Almost works for me! My only challenge is that I have one of the qmd files intended to be a webpage entry to a set of revealjs lectures.

So I put in the following for the _metadata.yml which works great for all of my slides.

html-math-method:
  method: mathjax
  url: "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/mathjax@3/es5/tex-mml-chtml.js"
format:
  clean-revealjs:
    width: 1280
    height: 720
    toc: true
    toc-depth: 1
    progress: false
    scrollable: false
    chalkboard: true
  ipynb: default
execute: 
  cache: true    

But for the entrypoint (the `index.qmd') I want a normal HTML file, and no revealjs-clean and no ipynb output.

Can I make changes to the file itself to overrite those and turn off ipynb and the clean-revealjs instead? For example, if I had the following in index.qmd then what should I replace the null, etc. with?

I would prefer not to put things in a sub-folder, but I guess that would also work.

Here is how metadata are merged: https://quarto.org/docs/projects/quarto-projects.html#metadata-merging

[jlperla]

I was looking at that, but it was unclear what I could do to replace the whole ipynb and clean-revealjs with something to which removes it entirely, or says "ignore? I tried things like the follwoing in my index.qmd`...

format:
  clean-revealjs: false
  ipynb: false
  html: default

but the false didn't work, neither did null, etc.

You either add the formats or don't.
You need to find the right combination for you based on your project structure and what you want.
As of right now, your project structure is quite unclear.
If the multiple formats should apply to all files in a subdirectory, why don't you want to put _metadata.yml inside it? If you don't, then you have to add on a per file basis the multiple formats.
