About

Google Colaboratory, also known as Colab, is a hosted Jupyter Notebook environment from Google for writing Python code in a web browser and executing it in the cloud.

It stores files in Google Drive, provides access to GPUs and TPUs for machine learning workloads, supports collaboration features similar to Google Docs, and integrates with GitHub for importing and publishing notebooks.

Quarto is an open-source scientific and technical publishing system based on Markdown that allows users to write in plain-text Markdown or work with Jupyter notebooks and embed executable code in Python, R, Julia, or Observable JS.

It supports 📖 Pandoc-style Markdown with equations, citations, cross-references, figure panels, and advanced layout, and renders a single source into formats such as HTML, PDF, MS Word, ePub, presentations, websites, blogs, or books.
