option to set filename of output, defaulting to what quarto uses #52

quarto_titlepages looks good, but it interferes with my workflow, because it uses the title of the book as the filename for output, rather than the default index.tex, index.pdf, ... used by quarto. Messes up Makefiles, ....

This happened after I had installed the extension, but did not use it in my book project.

I'm going to delete the extension until this is sorted out.

This is not from the extension, per se, but because this is a Quarto book project. For Quarto book project, by default it uses title yaml for the file names for the PDFs but you can change this by adding output-file to the yaml like so. Note, this isn't specific to the quarto_titlepages extension. Any Quarto book project has the same behavior.

book:
  title: "Here is the really long title that I don't want to use as a file name."
  output-file: "index"
