Research direction

Start with the Pandoc manual section on blank_before_header and inspect how the editor handles headings across files organized by _quarto.yml. Done means the editor detects a heading that would concatenate with the preceding text and presents a useful warning or notice.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

future vscode

I stumble now and then over Pandoc specific Markdown requirements (#3208) refering to https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-blank_before_header and wonder whether these could be integrated in the editor.

For example, I templated my document structure with headings and chapters in different files organized into _quarto.yml and in my appendix.qmd I had:

# Appendix
## Appendix 1

which leads to # Appendix## Appendix 1 as text.
Doing:

# Appendix

## Appendix 1

works...

A warning or notice from the editor would be really helpful...
