Accessibility standards do not make documents accessible.
If you set "image" as alternative text for all your images, you will pass.
There are also various and numerous standards, so support for all of them is not complete.
Comparison infographic titled "localtime vs quarto-now — Two Quarto extensions, two different jobs." Two side-by-side cards summarise each extension: EllaKaye/localtime (blue) converts event times to the reader's local timezone in the browser using Lua, JavaScript, and client-side rendering, with the shortcode `{{< localtime 2026-04-01 15:00 CET >}}`; it works with HTML output only and requires Quarto >= 1.2.0. gadenbuie/quarto-now (orange) inserts the current render time or file last-modified date using Lua and server-side rendering, with shortcodes `{{< now >}}` and `{{< modified >}}`; it works with any output format and requires Quarto >= 1.4.0. A green "What they share" section notes both are Lua-based, support custom formatting, use Quarto shortcode syntax, and have zero open issues. A feature comparison table shows: both support custom date/time formatting; only localtime supports timezone conversion (50+ zones, DST) and locale-aware output via the browser Intl API; only quarto-now supports current render timestamp, file modification timestamp, and working without a browser; localtime has a JS-disabled fallback while quarto-now does not apply; cross-platform `modified` support is macOS/Linux only for quarto-now. A dark verdict box concludes: use localtime for event datetimes in readers' timezones (HTML output); use quarto-now for "rendered on" or "last modified" stamps (any output format); both can coexist in the same document.
For those interested in a comparison of the two different extensions and know when to use what.
Nice! Feel free to share your extension on my listing: m.canouil.dev/quarto-exten...
FYI, there is also "Now"

I can't speak for the Quarto team, but you can see Quarto extensions as a way to mature features like this.
Lightbox and lit-table were a Quarto extensions / Lua filters before they were integrated.

#Quarto #Typst Render 😎

I'm more and more using Typst, but what if I could use it to create images, diagrams, equations, etc. for any formats, not just Typst inside Quarto.
#Quarto #Typst
Quarto can natively handle mermaid diagrams.
There is also a Lua filter to use various CLI for diagrams.
github.com/pandoc-ext/d...
I believe this should already work as engine computations happens before mermaid are read.
What's Missing? 300 extensions and counting. Help shape what comes next.
What Quarto extension would make your workflow easier?
There are already almost 300 extensions browsable at m.canouil.dev/quarto-exten... and installable via Quarto Wizard at m.canouil.dev/quarto-wizard/.
Drop your ideas below.
If there's enough interest, I might just build it.
#Quarto #OpenSource
A VS Code editor window showing a Quarto document alongside its rendered PDF preview. The editor displays `index.qmd` with YAML front matter configuring Typst format with `keep-typ: true`, GitHub Dark syntax highlighting, code annotations, and Julia as the engine. The document contains four sections demonstrating code block variants: a Julia code cell, an R code block with filename and annotations, a Python code block with annotations, and a Typst code block with a filename. The spell-checker flags "typst" as an unknown word on lines 3 and 37. The rendered preview on the right shows each section with styled code blocks, output, and annotation callouts. The status bar indicates the branch `feat/typst-annotation-filename`, Quarto version 99.9.9, and active Claude Code and Lua extensions.
"filename" and "code-annotation" features for Quarto Typst are coming along nicely.

If you are interested in PDF accessibility, there has been some big progress in Quarto.
Take a look at the latest blog post: quarto.org/docs/blog/po...

And now thanks to @mickael.canouil.fr text-prefix and text-suffix now work in both HTML *and* Typst! github.com/andrewheiss/...
Two paths there (none of which has guarantees it would work): output raw OpenXML code, provide a reference document with various styles (although this means to contribute a format...).
To restart the counter for Typst, you would need to start playing with state variables. It adds a layer a complexity, especially as it would be inside Lua, but that's doable.
New experimental Quarto extension bringing a macOS-style windows with traffic light buttons and a filename bar (automatically filled with language or user-provided value).

#Quarto #Typst #RevealJS #HTML #macOS
A VS Code editor window showing a Quarto document (example.qmd) alongside its rendered preview. The editor displays YAML front matter configuring a Typst output format with a code-window filter. The document demonstrates the "Code Window Extension" feature, where code blocks with a filename attribute render with a macOS-style window header showing traffic light buttons and the filename centred at the top. The preview panel shows two such code windows: a Python file (fibonacci.py) and an R file (analysis.R), both styled with the distinctive macOS window chrome. The terminal at the bottom shows Typst compilation output confirming the document rendered successfully to example.pdf.

The PR was automatically generated by quarto-extensions-updater, has the label "Type: Dependencies", and is reviewed by mcanouil.
I don't even need to bother looking for updates for my Quarto dependencies, they come right at me.
