Ce tutoriel prĂ©sente comment produire des PDF de qualitĂ© avec Quarto en tirant parti du format Typst. Après un bref rappel des bases de Quarto, un focus sera consacrĂ© Ă Typst : avantages, cas d’usage et diffĂ©rences avec les chaĂ®nes PDF classiques. L’usage de _brand.yml sera prĂ©sentĂ© pour centraliser les logos, les palettes de couleurs et les choix typographiques afin d’obtenir des rapports cohĂ©rents avec l’identitĂ© d’une organisation. Le rĂ´le des templates sera expliquĂ© : adapter et rĂ©utiliser des mises en page pour rĂ©pondre aux besoins d’un laboratoire, d’une Ă©quipe ou d’un projet.
Une partie pratique permettra de mettre en place un petit projet Quarto + Typst, d’appliquer un _brand.yml, et de crĂ©er ou modifier un template. Enfin, une introduction aux extensions et aux bonnes pratiques montrera comment pĂ©renniser et partager les personnalisations.

This tutorial demonstrates how to produce high-quality PDFs with Quarto by taking advantage of the Typst format. After a brief refresher on Quarto basics, we will focus on Typst: its benefits, use cases, and how it differs from traditional PDF rendering pipelines. We will introduce the use of _brand.yml to centralize logos, color palettes, and typographic choices, ensuring your reports remain consistent with an organization’s identity. The role of templates will also be explained, showing how to adapt and reuse layouts to meet the needs of a lab, team, or project.
A hands-on practical session will guide you through setting up a small Quarto + Typst project, applying a _brand.yml file, and creating or modifying a template. Finally, an introduction to extensions and best practices will show you how to maintain and share your customizations for the long term.
Please do let us know if you create a Quarto + Typst document 🥰
