Lately, I’ve been diving deep into the world of Quarto Extensions in my free time. I’ve found myself creating functionalities that I wished I had for my presentation slides. Here’s a breakdown of the different Quarto extensions I’ve developed to support the RevealJS format. I’ve shared these on the official Quarto RevealJS plugins page too.
