flextable (version 0.10.0)

use_flextable_qmd: Install the flextable-qmd Quarto extension

Description

Copies the flextable-qmd Quarto extension (bundled with flextable) into the _extensions/ directory of a Quarto project. The extension provides Lua filters that resolve Quarto markdown content produced by as_qmd() inside flextable cells for HTML, PDF, Typst and Word (docx) output formats.

After installation, add the filter to your document or project YAML:

filters:
  - flextable-qmd

This single filter is all that is required for HTML, PDF and Typst (format: typst) output.

For Word (docx) output with labelled flextable chunks (e.g. #| label: tbl-xxx), add the post-render filter to remove the wrapper table Quarto creates around the flextable (this extra filter is not needed for Typst, where the table is embedded directly in the figure):

filters:
  - flextable-qmd
  - at: post-render
    path: _extensions/flextable-qmd/unwrap-float.lua
