Description
Is there a way for VS Code to apply context-aware indentations in qmd files? For instance, I need the python blocks to be indented with 4 spaces. But if 4-space indentation gets applied to everything, then <div class="author">In a Div</div> renders as a code block and the callout (which with 2 spaces correctly appears as a child of the first list item) is broken.

title: TEST
jupyter: python3
---
## Evaluated python cell
```{python}
def f():
print("output")
f()
```
## Code block
```python
def f():
print("output")
```
## HTML
<div class="container">
<div class="author">In a Div</div>
</div>
## List
- unordered list
::: {.callout-note}
A Callout
:::
- sub-item 1
- sub-item 2
- sub-sub-item 1
Thanks!!

Research direction
Reproduce the reported indentation behavior in VS Code using the provided qmd example and the listed Quarto plugin version. Then trace the Quarto VS Code plugin's indentation entry point; done means Python blocks receive four-space indentation without breaking HTML, list nesting, or callouts.
