Quarto report synthesis 2-pager with automated content

[CarissaGervasi-NOAA]

At the SEFSC we are working on developing our Ecosystem Status Reports in Quarto using the NMFS open science Quarto book template. We successfully completed a Caribbean ESR.

As a next step, we want to synthesize the information in the report into a nice, flashy 2-pager. I could easily create one manually in a separate Quarto document, but I want to automate its creation as much as possible.

I am kind of copying the Northeast region, the way they've done their snapshot Ecosystem and Socioeconomic Profiles.

Things I am thinking through:

• How do I pull recent trends from all the indicators and pop them all into a table (in a pretty, organized way). I am currently working on functions that pull specific data from a folder of cleaned indicator time series data. It's a little cumbersome but I'm making some progress.
• Could AI help with this in some way?

Hi @CarissaGervasi-NOAA ! What's the status of this Issue? Still working on it? Done? Can you give a short update here?
We're going through this project board to keep things fresh for Mentors.

Still very much a work in progress lol but this is what I've gotten so far. The repository is messy, but I did write a function to create the table that's on page 2. Not sure if people are interested or working on similar things but it's there!

That's great thanks Carissa! Let's leave it open here so Mentors can see it.
