How can a QMD file see R code present in another QMD file?

[piiskop]

In bookdown, i can use variables and functions written in R defined in one RMD-file in another RMD-file. How can i do the same with quarto?

In Quarto each chapter is rendered in a separate session (this is so that you can work on a book a single chapter at a time rather than having to render the entire book each time). You can still manage to share data/objects though via explicit use of the R save() and load() functions.
