Quarto Callout constructor

[Nenuial]

Hi,
I'm trying to write a shortcode that outputs a callout. It will take some information from the document meta and write the callout. I'm trying to use the new shortcode constructor (I'm using Quarto 1.3.211). Here's a simplified version of what I tried. The problem is, it doesn't show the callout. I'm obviously doing something wrong, but what?

In my document I have of course a {{< doc-callout >}} to call the shortcode.

return {
  ["doc-callout"] = function(args, kwargs, meta)
      local calloutHeader = pandoc.Header(2, "Test header")
      local calloutContent = pandoc.Inlines{"Some text ", pandoc.Emph("with part in italic")}
      
      local calloutDiv = {}
      calloutDiv["type"] = "note"
      calloutDiv["content"] = pandoc.Blocks{calloutHeader, calloutContent}
      
      calloutOut = quarto.Callout(calloutDiv)
      
      return calloutOut
  end
}

You need to use the correct API: https://quarto.org/docs/prerelease/1.3/custom-ast-nodes/callout.html

Thanks a lot! I'll do that in the meantime.

This should be fixed and available on https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/tag/v1.3.213

Thanks a lot! That was really quick. I can confirm it works.

@Nenuial You might want to upgrade to a new release; there's a regression in Pandoc 3 that forced us to revert that feature, and v1.3.213 has the problem. You probably want https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/tag/v1.3.217

Thanks a lot for that info! I saw some strange errors because of the custom FiraSans font I use in lots of PDF documents. But I put it off as a problem for another day. Looks like it was because of that regression 😅
