Description

Bug description

Not sure if this qualifies as bug or feature request: running quarto preview on a file such as

---
title: Title
---

Text.

{{< include b.qmd >}}

the preview is updated when this file is changed, but not when the included b.qmd is changed.

Tested with quarto 1.1.251 and 1.2.203 on Pop!_OS 22.04.
