Description

Hello Quarto Devs

I've been working a lot with the Visual Editor in VSCode and love it a lot so far. Overall everything works fine except for some small glitches here and there (sometimes it reverts small amounts of freshly written letters), but I'm focusing on a different thing today:

Recently I noticed that the properties for the components are a tad bit inconsistent. For example the properties dialog for equations and figures both have different ways to set the identifier (figure requiring a # and the equation doesn't). And there is no properties dialog for the tables.

Is this a limitation of the prosemirror editor?

But else it's a fine tool, good stuff!!

Research direction

Start by locating the Visual Editor properties dialogs for equations and figures, then compare how each accepts identifiers and investigate whether the missing table dialog is a ProseMirror limitation. Done means the identifier behavior is consistent across the relevant dialogs and table properties have an agreed implementation or documented limitation.
