Description
Hi Christophe, @cderv
Thank you for all your work on the quarto-r package and beyond.
I was wondering if there is a way to use CSS styling files dynamically rather than statically to reduce duplication.
This would be especially useful on the Bioconductor Build System where it has access to the appropriate BiocStyle files.
Essentially, we would like to use a "standardized" styling file:
---
title: "Example R Package"
author:
- name: Marcel Ramos
date: last-modified
format:
html:
toc: true
toc-location: left
number-sections: true
embed-resources: true
mainfont: "Atkinson Hyperlegible"
link-external-newwindow: true
css: "`r system.file('resources', 'html', 'biocstyle.css', package = 'BiocStyle')`"
vignette: >
%\VignetteIndexEntry{Example Overview}
%\VignetteEngine{quarto::format}
%\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8}
---
Thank you!
