Description

Discussed in https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/discussions/3151

Originally posted by maxdrohde November 2, 2022
In the reveal.js format, we can use the output-location: column YAML option to show the output in the column next to the code, instead of the standard location below the code (see: https://quarto.org/docs/presentations/revealjs/#output-location)

It seems to me like this is only possible in the reveal.js format. It would be great to have this supported in HTML documents as well.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked reveal.js output-location documentation and the discussion at #3151 to understand the existing column behavior and intended HTML-document scope. Implement support so HTML documents place output in a column beside the code when configured, then verify that the standard output location remains unchanged without the option.
