apaquarto

You can generate a new Quarto document pre-configured with APA 7 style settings using the apaquarto template. You can do this via the R console or the terminal.

Via R Console

1. Ensure the quarto R package is installed (requires version 1.4 or higher).
2. Set your working directory to the desired location.
3. Run quarto::quarto_use_template("wjschne/apaquarto").
4. Confirm the author trust prompt by answering Yes or Y.

Via Terminal

1. Navigate to your target folder.
2. Run quarto use template wjschne/apaquarto.
3. Confirm the author trust prompt.
4. Provide a name for the new folder when prompted.

After installation, a .qmd file will be created. You can use the generated template file (which includes explanations and examples) or start with minimal.qmd for a cleaner slate.

# Install the required R package if not present
install.packages("quarto")

# Set working directory and use the template
setwd("path/to/my/folder")
quarto::quarto_use_template("wjschne/apaquarto")

To use the extension, you must specify the apaquarto formats in your document's YAML header. You can target .docx, .html, .pdf, or .typst (experimental, requires Quarto 1.5+).

Available format keys:

• apaquarto-docx
• apaquarto-html
• apaquarto-pdf
• apaquarto-typst
