see documentation

Configuration

The configuration for the static documentation site is defined in doc/_quarto.yaml.

Creating or modifying parts of the documentation

All documents are stored in .qmd format in doc/. Creation or modification of the documentation does not require local installation of quarto but can be done in any text editor or IDE. There are quarto plugins for VSCode and JupyterLab

Once finished, open a pull request to the dev branch. This will trigger the github workflow defined in build_quarto_docs.yaml.
