How do I convert Jupyter Book document using MyST style markdown to qmd?

Description

What is the best way to convert MyST style markdown to qmd? I appreciate round tripping may not be 100% possible, but being able to convert admonition blocks in a natural way, preserve cell tags etc, map figures, etc, should be possible.

There are no way in Quarto for that.
I don't think Pandoc knows how to convert the specific elements to common mark.

So you'll have to come up with a script to do that or look for one in the wild.

Note that you'll unlikely find something that does Myst to Quarto (at least not all the custom elements that Quarto brings)

FYI:

• Support for ReST instead of Markdown as input format #899

Thanks; I was wondering if there might be a way via some combination of jupytext and pandoc. Or getting hands on with the MyST parser and creating a new qmd output format.

Maybe but not known/shared out here.

AFAIK Jupytext does support Quarto to convert .qmd <-> .ipynb

You should ask them about MyST style maybe.

Quarto only provides quarto convert command to switch betwen .qmd and .ipynb and I think jupytext leverage that.

The myst markdown (as content of the markdown cell) is unlikely to be converted, even if the cell is mapped over.
