Description
Bug description
I'm trying to set global values for fig-align and fig-asp in a revealjs presentation, but quarto is ignoring them. I've tried setting them in the top level yaml (as in the example below), within execute: and within format: revealjs:, but the behavior is the same in each case. Unlike fig-asp and fig-align, quarto does respect a global setting of fig-dpi.
Steps to reproduce
---
title: "Presentation Title"
format:
revealjs:
width: 1500
height: 900
margin: 0.1
fig-align: center
fig-asp: 1
fig-dpi: 600
editor: source
---
```{r include=FALSE}
library(tidyverse)
```
```{r}
p = iris %>%
ggplot(aes(Petal.Length, Petal.Width, colour=Species)) +
geom_line() +
geom_point()
```
## Title
Ignores `fig-asp` and `fig-align`, regardless of whether these are in top-level yaml, within `execute:` or within `revealjs:`.
```{r}
p
```
## Title
With a `label` added to chunk options: Respects `fig-align`, but ignores `fig-asp`. But now there's an unwanted `Figure 1` added as a caption.
```{r}
#| label: fig-1
p
```
## Title
Respects local `fig-asp` and `fig-align`.
```{r}
#| fig-asp: !expr 9/10
#| fig-align: center
p
```
Output:
Expected behavior
All plots should be rendered using the global fig-align and fig-asp values set in the yaml, unless overridden by local settings in a given chunk.
Actual behavior
- In a chunk without a
label, quarto ignores globalfig-alignandfig-asp. - In a chunk with a
label, quarto respects globalfig-alignand ignores globalfig-asp, but adds an undesiredFigure 1caption below figure. - quarto respects
fig-alignandfig-aspwhen set locally within a chunk.

Research direction
Use the supplied R revealjs presentation as the reproduction case, checking the output for global fig-align and fig-asp settings with and without a chunk label. Trace the revealjs rendering path for these global figure options; done means both settings apply globally without requiring local chunk options or adding an unwanted Figure caption.
