Figure justification in docx output

[mcneills]

A couple of things I noticed in Quarto:

1. The Quarto documentation suggests that it is possible to left, centre (or center), or right justify figures with a .docx output (see Quarto figures). The following Quarto fragment tries a right justification, which does not work. Neither does centre justification.

2. Specifying the figure height and/or width works more-or-less as advertised, except the result is scaled 101% in the docx. Changing the scaling to 100% in the docx file produces the correct result (or, as close as numerically reasonable).

One or both of these might be Pandoc related, but I thought I would start here...

## A Word figure

Quarto allows more control over figures. Here is a test:

```{r}
#| label: fig-example
#| fig-cap: "A rather trivial plot"
#| fig-align: right
#| fig-width: 3.50
#| fig-height: 5.0
x <- rnorm(100)
y <- rnorm(100)
plot(x,y)

Thanks for reporting this! An oversight. Should be fixed here: 212ad58 (and available in the next build which should be out in ~ 1hr)

I'm having trouble with this when the figure has no caption (/label?):

---
title: "Untitled"
format: 
  docx: default
---

This is fine:

```{r}
#| label: fig-example
#| fig-align: right
#| fig-width: 3.50
#| echo: false
download.file('https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/80/Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg/103px-Wikipedia-logo-v2.svg.png','logo.png')
knitr::include_graphics("logo.png")
```

This is not:

```{r}
#| fig-align: right
#| fig-width: 3.50
#| echo: false
knitr::include_graphics("logo.png")
```

Same issue outside chunks:

![](logo.png){width=40% fig-align="right"}

quarto -v
1.5.26

This is related to

• global fig-align rule not respected by images without a caption #6509

The cross reference overhaul changed the behavior on this, where fig-align works for figures which are identified by label with #fig- prefix

Follow discussion there for now.

Thanks – in the meantime this seems to work for my very limited use-case (just adding one centered image at the top of a word doc). I struggled a bit to find the from: markdown+/-extension trick, I think it'd be helpful to have the docs return this tip when searching for pandoc extensions like these.
