# INTRO
## Quarto
Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code into a finished document. To learn more about Quarto see <https://quarto.org>.
# SPECIFIC STUFF
## Running Code
When you click the **Render** button a document will be generated that includes both content and the output of embedded code.
Expected behavior
Using the number-offset YAML option should offset the numbering in a PDF output.
Actual behavior
I'm trying to offset the section/heading numbers so that the first level 1 heading starts at 0. The default starts at 1. When I set number-offset: -1 for the PDF output option, it doesn't work. I've also tied a positive offset to test such as number-offset: 2. That doesn't work either. I read on one site that this was a bug on PDF outputs (https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/issues/3126) but that it would be fixed in version 1.3. I'm assuming that meant Quarto version 1.3. When using the same YAML option for HTML output, the number offset works, but it is still not working for PDF outputs.
I know there is a version of pandoc available that is 3.1.8 but I haven't tried that yet as I've read that RStudio comes bundled with a pandoc version and that changing to a non-bundled version could cause issues.
Your environment
Here are the versions I'm running:
R: 4.3.1
RStudio: 2323.06.2 +561
Quarto: 1.3.450
Pandoc: 3.1.1

Research direction
Reproduce the supplied Quarto document with PDF output and compare its number-offset behavior with the working HTML output. Start by checking the PDF rendering path with the reported Quarto 1.3.450 and Pandoc 3.1.1 versions. Done means positive and negative number-offset values change the PDF heading numbering as expected.
