Quarto support (open-source scientific and technical publishing system)

I think this is an excellent idea.

Quarto has also been adopted by nbdev, and this will allow Obsidian to see increased usage in the science/AI/ML space.

I’m not sure what minimal set of features would be useful - off the top of my head:

  1. The ability to treat qmd file extension (or any specified) as a markdown file with live preview.
  2. Conversion from wikilinks to regular markdown links
  3. Special treatment of quarto specific markdown → convert callouts format, divs format

Amazing features would be:

  1. Somehow bundling the quarto binary in a plugin? I know it’s written in typescript but relies on pandoc so it won’t really be possible from what I can see.
