Helper Script for Populating Yaml Header in Quarto Documents

This is my script for modifying/inserting yaml header in quarto documents.

Milestones:

• Insert custom yaml header in quarto documents(.ipynb, .qmd)
• Copy the quarto _extensions and CSS style folder to the target document directory
• Detect whether there is origninal header in documents and prompt to replace.
• Support for multiple quarto documents in one folder
• Auto update the quarto extensions when copying

How to use:

1. Clone this repo

   git clone https://github.com/kanghengliu/initheader.git

2. browse quarto extensions u want to use, then copy to _extensions folder

3. put your favourite css/scss file into style folder

4. Edit yaml header to your liking in init_header.py NOTE: There are two header chunks that needs editing! One for ipynb and one for qmd!

5. in terminal, run

   /Path/to/init_header.py "TITLE" "SUBTITLE" 1[0,False,True] /Path/to/doc[/Path/to/folder]

6. For help, run

   /Path/to/init_header.py -h

7. (Optional) Add script to .zshrc alias(MacOS/Linux) for quicker access
