Description
Currently, our YAML error reporting infrastructure produces nice errors about YAML values not matching expectations. We should extend it to report parse errors as well.
Minimal example:
This file doesn't render:
$ quarto render test.qmd
ERROR: YAMLError: test.qmd:
bad indentation of a mapping entry at line 3, column 8:
format: pdf
^
But we should show the error on RStudio and VSCode as well.
