How to use ‘asis’ output from R code chunks to generate inline image links for an entire directory of images, AND arrange them using Quarto’s custom figure layout syntax

Hi Cynthia. Thanks for the excellent (and very well explained) code. I was wondering about how you deal with page breaks when rendering a large number of images. It looks like there's no problem with creating a .docx, but when many images are rendered to a pdf, I find that that they overwrite the bottom of the page, and then terminate outputting.

Thanks again

Hi Kevin. I’m glad you found the post useful! I haven’t needed to output to pdf so I don’t have any direct experience with your issue. But have you tried modifying the code chunk to generate raw latex with position options rather than quarto markdown (or to add some position options as per https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/figures.html#latex-figures) ? You might find this post helpful as well — quarto-dev/quarto-cli#6736 The translation between quarto markdown into latex figure environments is a bit finicky and I try to avoid it as much as possible so sorry I can’t be of more help.

Thanks for the pointers - I'll check them out. I suppose that if all else fails I can break up the figures into multiple chunks or add page breaks.
BTW, thanks for including the Bibtex citation information. I will be sure to cite your code in the report I am writing with it.

I forgot to add that it looks like the method only works with relative path names to the figures. When I tried using absolute paths, the leading "/" was truncated.

Interesting, do you mean the `fs::dir_ls()` is not returning paths to your images, or {glue} is truncating the leading "/"?

Hi Cynthia
It looks like the problem is actually with how Quarto works - only relative paths are supported.
My bad, sorry.
