The latest version of quarto-webr, v0.1.0, seeks to allow for document-level options to be set. By setting these options, users can control the behavior of webR directly from the document’s YAML header without needing to know JavaScript. We’ve also added a new feature to show the status of the webR initialization process in the document header. This release is in conjunction with the release of webR v0.1.1.
