Quarto: Running different R code in dependency of the output format-CodePudding

I have a qmd Quarto file with different output formats, html and pdf.

My goal is, to generate graphics in dependence of the output format.

How can I detect in an R cell, if the processing output format is html or pdf? A simple if statement would be sufficient.

title: My title 
format:
  html:
    toc: true
    toc-depth: 3
    html-math-method: katex
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    toc: true
    number-sections: true
    colorlinks: true

Using knitr::is_html_output you could do:

---
title: My title 
format:
   html:
    toc: true
    toc-depth: 3
    html-math-method: katex
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    toc: true
    number-sections: true
    colorlinks: true

```{r}
if (knitr::is_html_output()) {
  print("HTML")
} else {
  print("pdf")
}
```

Which in case of html will give:

and for pdf:

You can also make use of pandoc divs with the .content-visible or .content-hidden classes along with when-format clause which supports a variety of format and format aliases such as, pdf, latex, html, html:js etc.
