Troubleshooting

I’m encountering issues with embedding files. What should I do?

If you’re experiencing difficulties with file embedding, first ensure that your Quarto project has the embedio shortcode extension installed by looking in the _extensions folder.

Next, make sure that the resource is specified in the resources key under the publishing format:

---
title: Example resource inclusion
format:
  html: 
    resources: 
    - path/to/file.pdf
---

If using a Quarto project with a _quarto.yml file, it is better practice to declare all assets in an assets directory under the resources key. For example, we have in our documentation website’s _quarto.yml file:

project:
  type: website
  resources:
   - assets/*
Note

The asterisks, *, means to include all files within that directory.

Are there known compatibility issues with certain browsers?

The are no known compatible with major browsers. However, if you encounter issues, please feel free to raise them in the project’s issue tracker and consider updating your browser to the latest version.
