Description

Bug description

Using Quarto 1.3.340 on macOS.

Given the following Markdown file named index.md, Quarto reports that the file must be named *.qmd because it contains executable code. There is no executable code in this document.

# Simple Markdown

This is a simple Markdown document containing an embedded R Markdown document.

````markdown

title: "embedded"
---

This is an embedded R Markdown document contained within a simple Markdown
document.

```{r setup, echo = FALSE, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
````

The resulting error:

quarto render index.md
#> ERROR: You must use the .qmd extension for documents with executable code.

Encountered when trying to adapt a mkdocs site to use Quarto without performing a bunch of file renaming.
