have custom appendix sections work in formats besides html

[katossky]

Feature requested

Currently, the the custom appendix mechanism only works for HTML. It would be nice if it also worked for, say, pdf and docx. At the moment {.appendix} has no effect whatsoever in these formats.

Current behaviour

---
title: "Document en français avec annexes"
format: pdf
lang: fr
toc: true
number-sections: true
---

## Un problème intéressant

Une description

## Plus de détail {.appendix}

Des détails

## Un problème compliqué

Des compléments

## Encore plus de détail {.appendix}

Plein de détails

-> No section is moved nor considered part of the appendix.

Whised-for behavior

I would expect uniform behaviour across html, pdf and docx formats, that is all the appendices to be sent at the end of the document and be numbered together.

Where did you see it was supposed to work for non HTML formats?

From https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/appendices.html:

HTML pages rendered with Quarto include a formatted appendix at the end of the article.

There is no mention of the other formats.

Oh no sorry I missed that part. Can we turn this into a discussion for a feature request then?

[mcanouil]

Edit your issue in that direction.

I am not sure I can turn this into a discussion, as recommended in your guidelines for new features.

I am not asking you to convert or open a discussion. I am asking you to edit your issue (title and description) to make it a feature request.
