The linkate filter extension automatically collects all URLs in your Quarto document and places a copy of them at the end under a “Links” section.

Installation

To install the linkate filter extension, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Execute the following command:

quarto add coatless-quarto/linkate

This command will download and install the filter extension under the _extensions subdirectory of your Quarto project. If you are using version control, ensure that you include this directory in your repository.

Usage

To use the linkate extension, add it to your document’s YAML front matter:

The extension will automatically process your document and append a “Links” section at the end containing all the URLs found in your document.
