pandoc-args in YAML

[rgaiacs]

Description

quarto render --help includes

  pandoc-args...                      - Additional pandoc command line arguments.                         

I'm almost sure that in earlier days of Quarto the above mentioned pandoc-args was also available in YAML. When I look at the "Rendering" section, I don't find it anymore.

I'm looking a way to disable the syntax highlighting completely. Pandoc offers --no-highlight.

I'm almost sure that in earlier days of Quarto the above mentioned pandoc-args was also available in YAML.

I am not sure about that. In the help part pandoc-args is a placeholder for any pandoc argument taken at command line. in Rmarkdown rmarkdown::render() has a pandoc_args config, but that is different.

To note that in pandoc, all command CLI flag can also be passed using YAML. We map most of those.

I'm looking a way to disable the syntax highlighting completely. Pandoc offers --no-highlight.

The one you need is highlight-style, and you need to set it to none

highlight-style: none

Maybe we don't document this correctly 🤔 - I'll look

Another note: Future pandoc version will deprecate --no-highlight to use --syntax-highlighting=none as part of a bigger rewrite

Hope it helps
