Description
Bug description
Given a Quarto project:
project:
output-dir: output
with a single Markdown file:
---
title: customized
format: email
---
Not the message.
::: {.email}
::: {.subject}
The subject.
:::
The message.

:::
and the quarto.png, when rendered, the output directory contains:
.output_metadata.json
email-preview
index.html
index_files
quarto.png
Is is not necesssary for the quarto.png to be included in the output directory.
- The
.output_metadata.jsonfile contains the base64 encoded data for this file in itsrsc_email_imagesfield asimg1.png. This is used to embed the image into an email message. - The
email-previewcontains the base64 image data within its HTML.
Note: It is not required that email-preview embeds the base64 data, but that choice was made by @rich-iannone to make the preview stand-alone.
Steps to reproduce
Create and render the described project.
Expected behavior
The quarto.png file is not included in the output directory, but has its data embedded in the .output_metadata.json and email-preview.html files.
Actual behavior
The quarto.png file is included in the output directory.
