Description

quarto convert can convert between qmd and ipynb documents. Is it also planned to integrate this with formats such as a plain R files with special comments via knitr::purl (https://bookdown.org/yihui/rmarkdown-cookbook/purl.html) or a plain python script such as the ones created by VSCode when converted from a notebook?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing quarto convert behavior for qmd and ipynb documents. Compare the R knitr::purl format with plain Python scripts created from notebooks in VSCode, then determine the conversion scope and expected syntax. Done means quarto convert supports the agreed R and Python script formats.
