Report header
Our report is shaping up nicely! 🔥
However, I feel that its header could use some improvement. Let's explore ways to make it more informative and visually appealing.

In Quarto, you have the flexibility to include extensive information in the document header.
While the official documentation offers a comprehensive list of options, it's important to strike a balance to prevent overwhelming readers.
In my opinion key fields to consider include:
title
,subtitle
, anddescription
, which provide immediate insight into the document's contentauthor
details such asname
,affiliation
, andemail
ensures transparency and accessibility, especially if the document is shared among multiple individuals- date using the
today
keyword which ensures that each version is properly timestamped for reference.
Here's an example of a Quarto header that effectively incorporates these elements:
title: "Exploring the Simpson's Paradox..."
subtitle: "And simultaneously demonstrating ..."
description: "This document is..."
author:
name: "Yan Holtz"
affiliation: "Independant 😀"
email: yan.holtz.data@gmail.com
keywords: "Quarto, Paradox, Data Analysis"
date: today
