Interesting. I’ve pretty much standardized on https://quarto.org (with python), but this is interesting.

I’m surprised the “Comparison” section omits R Markdown. I think it’s a good option for these sorts of projects since you have a mature programming language with well developed libraries for presenting tables, figures, etc.

Rendering uses the knitr package to run R code and then metadata and the markdown content are rendered with Pandoc.

There have been at least several statistics books published from R Markdown documents. R isn’t my favorite scripting language, but it’s what I’d reach for I wanted to do some sort of literate programming or dynamic report writing and wasn’t required to write in another language.
