Landscape Extension For Quarto

Important

This extension has been merged into quarto version 1.6.6. (see. quarto-dev/quarto-cli#10581) and should work out of the box.

The 'quarto-landscape' filter enables a landscape div, that switches the pages within the selection to landscape. It implements the same div for docx, latex, and Typst, making it easier to switch between formats.

Installing

quarto add edvinsyk/quarto-landscape

This will install the extension under the _extensions subdirectory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.

Using

Simply enclose what you want to have in landscape format using the landscape div.
