Can we embed PDF files in standalone HTML files using data URIs?

[jmgirard]

Description

The code below works locally but does not actually embed the "dummy.pdf" file into the HTML via data URI/URL.

dummy.pdf

---
title: "Embed test"
format: html
embed-resources: true
resources: 
  - "dummy.pdf"
---

<object data="dummy.pdf" type="application/pdf"></object>

Would it be possible to enable this without serious security concerns? See example here

First, you should not use bare html, instead use raw code block: https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/markdown-basics.html#raw-content

Use plain markdown:

---
title: "Quarto Playground"
format: html
embed-resources: true
---

The support for ![](file.pdf) and ![](dummy.pdf){width=100%} is great. I wish that were documented better on the quarto website.

Unfortunately, Quarto cannot document everything that Pandoc supports.
