Switching from Hugo to Quarto for a personal academic website: a practical feedback on configuration, flexibility, and CSS customization.
I switched my website from hugo to Quarto. From my point of view, Quarto is easier to use and as flexible as hugo, but i may be biased, as i was already using Quarto for writing lectures notes and research papers.
Quarto Website makes it easy to build websites:
- a configuration file
_quarto.ymlto define the website structure, theme, and other options. - All the content is written in markdown or quarto files, and
- the style can be customized using CSS.
The post of Nicola Rennie provides a taste of the work involved in building a Quarto website.
Getting inspiration (copying) existing quarto website is a good way to start:
- The spark web site has an interesting configuration file here.
- The Quarto Gallery has many examples of websites built with Quarto.
