FR: Output to Quarto markdown flavour about literate.jl HOT 3 OPEN

Apologies! I've beefed up the original post with some references and an introduction.

from literate.jl.

Can you link to some description of what Quarto markdown flavor is?

from literate.jl.

Findings from a quick investigation: we get most of the functionality with the existing blocks, the only challenge I found is parsing the modifying attributes like #| echo:false that need to be inside of code blocks.

Goal: producing a .qmd file that corresponds to Quarto specs

I've created a gist here with:

• target file quarto_jl.qmd that we would like to produce
• source file quarto.jl that we feed to Literate.jl

Code pipeline (from REPL):

using Literate
Literate.markdown("quarto.jl",flavor = Literate.CommonMarkFlavor(),codefence="```{julia}" => "```")
mv("quarto.md","quarto.qmd")
run(`quarto render quarto.qmd --to html`)

The only challenge I found was how to create a cell like this with #| echo:false-like statements

```{julia}
#| echo: false
#| output: false
using Pkg; Pkg.activate(".")

Proposal

• I think we could easily add a new flavour of markdown with its codefence here
• Writing the result to the right filename, probably use the keyword literate_outputfile in the config - EDIT: that doesn't work, but perhaps we could just suffix quarto markdown with .qmd
• ? How to pass the code-block arguments? I think the rule that's not working is that a comment expects a space (eg, ## Comment), so this regex doesn't get triggered

I'm happy to open the PR but I'm not sure how to best tackle the 3rd bullet - any ideas?
Maybe adding an optional | symbol after the # to the regex to be still treated like a comment?
