Figure parameters in Quarto

General
1

I'm having difficulty finding a good reference for figure sizes and similar parameters in Quarto.

I've noticed a couple of things through lots of troubleshooting:

  • Code like this #| fig-width: 6 only works if it starts on the first line of the chunk.

  • When using code fold, this code does not show up.

Can anyone point to a good reference for these details?

Maybe https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/figures.html
or the section in https://quarto.org/docs/reference/cells/cells-knitr.html related to figures:
https://quarto.org/docs/reference/cells/cells-knitr.html#figures

The possibilities of Quarto are manifold and often depend on the output format.

I often search with Google anyway where it helps when I found the right parameter in the reference section.

But I always start with https://quarto.org/docs/guide/ where there also is a link to the reference pages.

The details you mentioned could be errors in Quarto. The code chunk entries should (in my opinion) not be dependent on a particular order. Can you show us a simple (minimal (not-) working) example of your issue?
