Bug description

Problem: quarto render fails when enabling self-contained or embed-resources in yaml.

Steps to reproduce:

1. In terminal: > quarto create project book testbook

2. Add the following to _quarto.yml (any of these options produce same error):

   format:
   html:
   self-contained: true
   embed-resources: true

3. Add to any qmd file:

```{r } 
#| label: test-plot

plot(1:10, 1:10)

4. > quarto render

Result in error:

ERROR: 
compilation failed- error
Unable to load picture or PDF file 'intro_files/figure-pdf/test-plot-1.pdf'.

...and warning:

[WARNING] Could not fetch resource ./summary.html

Works when option quarto render --to html is used. Curiously, quarto render --to pdfalso works if run separately.

System info:

quarto --version: 1.5.57 on Arch linux This is XeTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-0.999995 (TeX Live 2023) (preloaded format=xelatex)

Steps to reproduce

Expected behavior

quarto render should produce html and pdf book

Actual behavior

quarto render fails quarto render --to html and quarto render --to pdf works

self-contained is the outdated name. You should only use embed-resources as documented.

Book project using HTML are multi-page site. As with Website project, embed-resources cannot really work.

What is your use case? Why do you want your book to have all dependencies embedded in the HTML code (thus duplicated leading to bigger files)?

Thanks for the input! However, embed resources gives the same error.

Yes, as I explained, it's not supposed to be used for multi-pages project such as book/website.

[eeenilsson]

Ok, that explains it then! Thanks for the clarification.

I'm reopening because there's might be something to be done here to improve things.

[eeenilsson]

Ok, gret. It is a bit curious that using the --to options work. It's also seems to work with multi page webpages.
