You can turn this off in your Quartz by running this command.</p><divclass=highlight><divclass=chroma><tableclass=lntable><tr><tdclass=lntd><pretabindex=0class=chroma><code><spanclass=lnt>1

To set that up, see the guide on
<ahref=/notes/editingrel=noopenerclass=internal-linkdata-src=/notes/editing>local editing</a></p><h3id=can-i-use-reactvuesome-other-framework>Can I use React/Vue/some other framework?</h3><p>Not out of the box. You could probably make it work by editing <code>/layouts/_default/single.html</code> but that’s not what Quartz is designed to work with. 99% of things you are trying to do with those frameworks you can accomplish perfectly fine using just vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.</p><h2id=still-stuck>Still Stuck?</h2><p>Quartz isn’t perfect! If you’re still having troubles, file an issue in the GitHub repo with as much information as you can reasonably provide. Alternatively, you can message me on
