@mcanouil I believe we are supposed to handle number-offset directly in Quarto through Lua, and this is part of Crossref feature.

That would be worth looking why this is does not work anymore as it should have been. It seems deeper than just a documentation change.

Or maybe it has never worked... 🤷‍♂️ Would be worth looking in the history

We do have a Lua filter for this numbering feature in R Markdown (https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown/blob/main/inst/rmarkdown/lua/number-sections.lua) so I would assume this would have been ported over

Anyhow, worth looking deeper (Did not do it, just sharing this info for now)

Thanks @cderv I tried few versions of Quarto and if it ever worked it was a long time ago^^

Ok thanks for trying. Then the question should be raised in the team discussion for historical behavior. It may has been lost over version because not well tracked, and indeed not Pandoc supported. This would have been an addition from Quarto.

For 1.4 this indeed seems to be a documentation update we need to confirm, and probably worth reinserting the feature properly (or debug) for later. (not sure about the timing).

@dragonstyle added the 1.5 milestone to the original issue, thus this PR might only be for 1.4 time being (and possibly at most).

• number-offset in PDF output for Quarto is not working. #6842

Quick note: the few lines from Lua filter here seems to be for PDF books not simple PDF.

(I'm still chasing old notifications, sorry for the delayed response) I'll wait to review when this passes tests.

I fixed the typo... (early days on the codebase^^)

I tried to merge against main and rebuild the build-js resources but I don't know where my push ended up 🤷. @mcanouil Can you merge against main, run quarto build-js and push again? Thanks.

This looks good, thanks. I don't think we need a changelog entry.
