Description

Bug description

When output-location is not specified for an R chunk, the resulting figure fills up the available space and is resized automatically.

When output-location: fragment, the figure is not resized, potentially extending beyond the slide.

I would expect the figure sizes to be the same for these two situations since fragment is supposed to just delay the figure display.

An example of this can be found in the embedded slide deck at https://mine-cetinkaya-rundel.github.io/quarto-tip-a-day/posts/05-output-location/.

Research direction

Start with the embedded slide deck linked in the issue and compare the figure produced by a default R chunk with one using output-location: fragment. Trace the revealjs output behavior responsible for sizing; done means both cases resize the figure consistently so it stays within the slide.
