1 Introduction

Adopting Christophe Dervieux’s Rmd instructions to get algorithms in to Quarto HTML documents.

Using R version 4.2.0 (2022-04-22), Quarto 1.3.56, and RStudio IDE 2023.3.0.34 as well as

1.1 Setup:

His steps:

1. Add an HTML file to include in the _quarto.yml.
2. Add a js code block

1.2 The algorithm code

Here’s an example from the post:

\begin{algorithm}
\caption{The original \textsf{Relief} algorithm for ranking predictor variables in classification models with two classes.}
\begin{algorithmic}
\STATE Initialize the predictor scores $S_j$ to zero;
\FOR{$i = 1\ldots m$ randomly selected training set samples ($R_i$)}
\STATE Find the nearest miss and hit in the training set;
\FOR{$j = 1\ldots p$ predictor variables}
   \STATE Adjust the score for each predictor  based on the proximity of $R_j$ to the nearest miss and hit:\\
   $S_j = S_j - diff_j(R_j, Hit)^2/m + diff_j(R_j, Miss)^2/m$;
\ENDFOR
\ENDFOR
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

issue: nothing shows up in the HTML output

issue: (In another document) this same code renders but the LaTeX is not processed:
