Error running filter abstract-section: Could not find executable abstract-section

[fBedecarrats]

Hello and thanks for this cool extension that seems useful.

I am running Quarto in RStudio on an Ubuntu 22.04, with 2022.12.0, R 4.2.2 and quarto 1.2.269.
As per your README, I installed the extension using the terminal:

onyxia@rstudio-32255-0:~/work$ quarto install extension pandoc-ext/abstract-section

Then I create a test.qmd file:

title: "test"
format: html
editor: visual
filters:
  - abstract-section
---

# Abstract

This is my abstract

****

# Introduction

This is my introduction.

But when I try to render it, I get the following error:

onyxia@rstudio-32255-0:~/work/trends_pa_types$ quarto render test.qmd

  output-file: test.html

  editor: visual
  
Error running filter abstract-section:
Could not find executable abstract-section

Any idea of how to solve this?

Quarto does not install extensions globally, but per-project. The advantage is that older projects will continue to work, even if a new, incompatible version of an extension has been released in the meantime.

Try to run the install step in your project folder ~/work/trends_pa_types.

Thank you very much for this answer. I can confirm that it works in a Linux environment. I would suggest completing the readme to specify that the installation must be done within the project folder.
I have different problems with the extension on Windows. I am opening a separate issue for this.
