Description

Below is my qmd code in the file index.qmd, there is a section "## Data Delivery, Help and FAQ " that I would like to omit, is there an easy way to exclude? Thanks in advance

Could you properly format your post using code blocks for code and terminal outputs? Thanks.
If your code contains code blocks, you need to enclose it using more backticks, i.e., usually four ````.

This being said you likely are interested in "conditional content" as described in https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/conditional.html.

yeah that pasted in funny

your solution works, that is exactly what I was looking for

@IceManTBM3 We kindly ask that you fulfill the reformatting request. Without a properly formatted message, future users may find it impossible to read, understand, or use the discussion. Thank you for your cooperation!

You can share a self-contained "working" (reproducible) Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).
See https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#small-is-beautiful-aim-for-a-single-document-with-10-lines.

If you have multiple files (and if it is absolutely required to have multiple files), please share as a Git repository.

````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: knitr --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. ```{r} x <- c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) y <- c(1, 4, 9, 16, 25) plot(x, y) ```  The end. ````	````qmd --- title: "Reproducible Quarto Document" format: html engine: jupyter --- This is a reproducible Quarto document. ```{python} import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] y = [1, 4, 9, 16, 25] plt.plot(x, y) plt.show() ```  The end. ````

Additionally and if not already given, please share the output of quarto check within a code blocks (i.e., using three backticks ```txt), see https://quarto.org/bug-reports.html#check.
