Support for R Markdown extensions like pagedown?

[pat-alt]

@yihui and others have contributed many amazing R Markdown extensions in the past including pagedown, for example. Is there a way to use those with Quarto? I'm imagining something along these lines:

format:
    pagedown::html_resume:
        self-contained: true

Of course, you can still use existing extensions in the same way as before, but in an ideal world you could specify options as above and then use quarto render with it (which I haven't got to work). Is there an efficient workaround?

These features need to be implemented natively in Quarto (as we have done already for packages like tufte, distill, xaringian, bookdown, blogdown, etc.). Note that these features aren't literally the same (you need to use different syntax) but they are functionally equivalent.

We plan on creating pagedown-like features in Quarto soon.
