This image is my rough understanding of how quarto generates/structures its HTML output.
Approximation of how Quarto (http://quarto.org) generates HTML: quarto-generated head content, header include, before-body include, quarto-generated body content (navigation, sidebar, title, body content, pagination, margin, footer), after-body-include.

"Llamas are liars"... ah yes, I'm always using that common retort: "You know, you're a real llama, always lying to me"
According to Google AI overview: The saying "llamas are liars" is an informal expression, typically used humorously or to highlight an individual's tendency to be deceitful. It's not a literal statement about llamas themselves, but rather a metaphor that plays on the word "llama," which is a native South American animal. Google AI overview also provides an example: You might say, "You know, you're a real llama, always lying to me!" as a playful way of calling someone out for their deceitful behavior, but it doesn't mean you believe they literally resemble a llama.

"Llamas can't tell the truth" apparently means that somebody is being "exceptionally honest"
According to Google's AI overview: The saying "llamas can't tell the truth" is a humorous idiom, implying that llamas are known for their honesty and straightforward nature. It's not meant to be taken literally, as llamas, being animals, cannot speak or lie in the human sense. The phrase is used to describe someone who is exceptionally honest, perhaps even to a fault, similar to how llamas are perceived as being trustworthy and genuine.
