I understand why people prefers a low learning curve, WYSIWYG program like Word. But when the project is complex and they have to pick a programming language to learn, then assuming the effort to learn is the same, then why not choosing a more popular, more interactive, and intended for screens? I haven't looked closely at Quarto, but at the face of it I would put it in the same basket with webpage. Jupyter is the same: interactive and intended for screens, not papers. (I agree using "webpage" limits my options)– OokerCommented Feb 28 at 19:04

2Also, I would challenge this view "then why not choosing a more popular, more interactive, and intended for screens?". Popular among who? academics or the general population?– Richard EricksonCommented Feb 28 at 19:24

2"and they have to pick a programming language to learn" Who does, for what?– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Feb 28 at 23:05

1@Ooker Yet, most people do just fine with Word.– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Mar 1 at 4:51

1@Ooker But they are, you said "researchers" ... not "researchers who use LaTeX."– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Mar 1 at 18:58

create code fences with backticks ` or tildes ~
```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
