Description
Bug description
the format keyword in the yaml block of a document is not overriding the format settings from the _metadata.yml in the same directory.
Steps to reproduce
I've created a repo here which demonstrates the issue https://github.com/anielsen001/quarto-yaml-test
in this project, run
quarto render test/test.qmd
and get the following output:
Executing 'test.ipynb'
Cell 1/1: ''...Done
pandoc
to: html
output-file: test.html
standalone: true
title-prefix: Yamltest
section-divs: true
html-math-method: mathjax
wrap: none
default-image-extension: png
css:
- ../styles.css
toc: true
metadata
document-css: false
link-citations: true
date-format: long
lang: en
theme: cosmo
title: test file
Executing 'test.ipynb'
Cell 1/1: ''...Done
pandoc
to: ipynb
output-file: test.ipynb
standalone: true
default-image-extension: png
metadata
ipynb-title-block: /opt/quarto/share/formats/ipynb/templates/title-block.md
title: test file
Output created: ../_site/test/test.html
While I've set the format keyword in the test/test.qmd file to be only html, I still get the jupyter notebook output specified in the test/_metadata.yml file.
Expected behavior
I expect the yaml block in the file to override the directory settings in the_metadata.yml file. At least that's my interpretation of this section of the documentation: https://quarto.org/docs/projects/quarto-projects.html#metadata-merging
Actual behavior
I'm trying to suppress the jupyter notebook output on a per file basis when the _metadata.yml file specifies this behavior for the entire directory.
