No "Other Format" Buttons in Manuscript Output

[Theurrien]

Description

Hi,
I started working with a manuscript quarto project and I'm struggling with the most easy thing: different formats. I created the mansucript project in R Studio. I'm rendering the manuscript within the terminal and the quarto render command. But i don't get the different format links... What am I doing wrong?

This is my _quarto.yml file:

project:
  type: manuscript

manuscript:
  article: index.qmd
  notebooks:
    - notebook: 1_data/1_fragebogen.qmd
      title: Fragebogen und Reliabilitätswerte

format:
  html:
    comments:
      hypothesis: true
  docx: default
  pdf: default

format-links:
  - docx
  - pdf

execute:
  freeze: true
  
bibliogra

and this is my YAML header and content in my index.qmd file:

---
title: "Bewertung der Effektivität einer Virtual-Reality-Simulation zur Vermittlung der Titration: Eine vergleichende Studie mit traditionellen Labormethoden"
authors:
  - name: "Urs Chalupny"
    affiliation: "FHNW"
    corresponding: true
bibliography: references.bib
format: 
  html: default
  pdf: default
  docx: default
---

```{r}
#| label: library
#| message: false
#| warning: false
#| include: false


library(tidyverse)
library(gt)
library(here)
```

# Einleitung Einführung in die Problemstellung, Theorie- und Literaturübersicht

I'm trying to keep my different chapters in separeted qmd files.

Could you make sure your example is small and reproducible?
Maybe share a Git repository (not your whole project).

Why are you redefining the format inside your document? You already defined them at the project level.

To be clear, the feature works:

quarto create project manuscript 12049 12049
cd 12049
quarto render

Et voilà:

https://github.com/Theurrien/other_formats.git

 I started a new manuscript project, added the code to index.qmd, and created some almost empty files for the included docs.

There are still no “other formats” buttons.

Could it be something related to the include shortcode? (I’m not saying that this feature doesn’t work—just that it doesn’t work in my project.)

[mcanouil]

You defined for some reason a YAML frontmatter in all your included files, like:

---
format: html
editor: visual
---

Global/shared metadata are in _quarto.yml.
Add editor: visual in _quarto.yml to take effect everywhere.

Include shortcode is a copy/paste plain and simple as documented in a red important callouts (https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/includes.html), so at the end of all the includes, what remains for the format is from https://github.com/Theurrien/other_formats/blob/main/2_docs/4_discussion.qmd:

format: html

SO you basically ask to render to HTML only which means there are no "other formats".

Perfect, thank you 🙏

Maybe there will be some other newbie questions...
