I want to publish with the command
quarto::quarto_publish_site()
my book-website.
The book-website is already setup on quarto-pub. If I don't add any image as a web link, the website runs and can be uploaded.
Now I add any image as a weblink, this is a exemplary code
When I render it locally, it works. When I launch the command to publish it
compilation failed- error Unable to load picture or PDF file 'https://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/04/picture.jpg'.
The publishing process is interrupted after this error. This is exactly the same if I launch the command from Terminal.
Is this intended to prevent to publish on quarto-pub links from other websites? Or I can do something to avoid to download all these pics?
Including images via URL is not supposed to work for PDF output, which is not a Quarto issue but comes from how Pandoc translates !()[] to LaTeX.
Instead, you could automatically generate a local copy of the file (if not available) and then include the image in an R code chunk like this:
```{r, echo=FALSE, fig.cap='Kid', dpi=100}
if(!file.exists("kid.jpg")) {
download.file(
url = "https://edit.co.uk/uploads/2016/12/Image-1-Alternatives-to-stock-photography-Thinkstock.jpg",
destfile = "kid.jpg",
mode = "auto")
}
knitr::include_graphics("kid.jpg")
```
(of course, including the image via !()["kid.jpg"] at different location will work too once the file exists locally.)
