Quarto Website Template

This repository serves as a template for creating a website rendered from markdown files using Quarto. It provides a starting point for building a website with Quarto.

To individualize content, change the following:

1. state project information in this README.md
2. individualize content of the main (starting) page in index.qmd
3. optionally add futher content in additional pages (subpage.qmd is initialized as starting point)
4. customize content in the _quarto.yml file
   • change site_url, repo_url and under page footer href to point to the new repo
   • optionally change all the other links pointing to personal social media sites etc.
   • optionally add additional pages such as subpage
5. optionally change the style of the website (fonts, colors,...) in the custom_theme.scss file.

The website is rendered with Quarto either locally (has to be installed) or in Github automatically each time new content is added/changed via Github Actions to the _site folder, do not change anything in there.
