Description

The parameters.html#rendering section doesn't include information on when the execution parameters are available, nor if these are available as objects themselves or if they exist as components of the list params alike in the knitr case.

In my case, I require these parameters to be available within my Quarto R chunks as well as available to any pre-render R scripts or R scripts sourced within inline code in my Quarto front-matter.
