The Obsidian to Quarto Exporter plugin offers a streamlined way to export notes from Obsidian to Quarto's QMD format, catering to users looking to integrate their note-taking with Quarto-based publishing workflows. The plugin allows you to include either the creation or modification date in your exports, customize date formats, and handle tags selectively, giving you control over what metadata appears in your QMD files. It also supports output folder designation and offers options to either overwrite existing files or create incremented versions, keeping your exports organized. This plugin is particularly valuable for users looking to transfer their content efficiently while retaining formatting and metadata compatibility with Quarto.

The Ridian plugin brings R programming and Quarto rendering capabilities directly into Obsidian, making it a powerful addition for data analysts and statisticians. With Ridian, you can seamlessly run R code, create Quarto-compliant documents, and embed interactive plots or widgets into your notes. It’s ideal for users looking to document coding workflows, link code snippets using Obsidian’s robust search and linking features, and integrate statistical analyses into their vault. The plugin also supports live updates to rendered content and enables smooth transitions between Obsidian and other Quarto-compatible editors. While not a replacement for RStudio, Ridian is perfect for lightweight R scripting and embedding visualizations in a markdown-friendly environment. Setup requires configuring paths to R and Quarto executables, and a few R packages, ensuring smooth functionality for Mac and Windows users. If you're an R enthusiast working in Obsidian, Ridian adds a dynamic edge to your note-taking experience.
