mini-epic: AST uniformization across engines for floats

[cscheid]

All float (Figures, Tables, etc) emitted before Pandoc should emit the same markdown AST.

• [ ] Jupyter
• [ ] Knitr
• [x] OJS
• [x] mermaid
• [x] dot

Let's start with writing tests the generate the documents so we can inspect them.

• [ ] Decide what ids/classes/attrs need to appear where

Issues that are blocked because of this:

• [ ] #7999

• [x] #7017.

  Specifically, we need to decide what's the correct output for float layouts that have subfigures but no subcaptions:

  ---
  title: "Layout test"
  format: 
   pdf:
     keep-tex: true
  ---
  
  ```{r}
  #| label: fig-charts
  #| fig-cap: "Charts"
  #| layout: "[1, 1]"
  
  plot(cars)
  plot(pressure)

Current status

Test documents are in tests/docs/smoke-all/issues/7062-ast-uniformization/*.qmd.

TODO

• [ ] Create pre-ast Lua filter that checks for the correct structure in the right places, and fails if the divs don't match.
  • [ ] I really wish we had a "Pandoc AST validator" module like we do for YAML, so we could write "Pandoc AST schema"... It would be the same technology, even.

Simple layouts

Currently, "simple layouts" (single figure, caption and label) are (by inspection) compatible with each other. Jupyter and Knitr both emit images as an "image-style" float:

![Caption here](./image-here.jpg){#fig-label attributes}

OJS, mermaid, and dot all emit div-style floats:

::: {#fig-label attributes}

FIGURE_CONTENT_HERE

Caption here

:::

The exact nature of the content isn't important. It is not perfectly equivalent across formats, but it doesn't have to be, since our FloatRefTarget node works well with this structure.

Tracking this in the feature/7062 branch.

Currently, the knitr output for this .qmd

---
title: "Layout test"
keep-md: true
---

```{r}
#| label: fig-charts
#| fig-cap: "Charts"
#| layout: "[1, 1]"

plot(cars)
plot(pressure)

is

::: {.cell layout="[1, 1]"}

plot(cars)
plot(pressure)

::: {.cell-output-display} {#fig-charts-1 width=672} :::

::: {.cell-output-display} {#fig-charts-2 width=672} ::: :::

That confuses quarto. I think the output should be this:

::: {#fig-charts .cell layout="[1, 1]" fig-cap="Charts"}

plot(cars)
plot(pressure)

::: {.cell-output-display} {#fig-charts-1 width=672} :::

::: {.cell-output-display} {#fig-charts-2 width=672} :::

:::

Concretely:

- no caption in the inner figures (because single string in `fig-cap` denotes overall figure caption)
- figure label in outer figures (because otherwise we don't have a label to do crossref work)
- `fig-cap="Charts"` in the cell, so that we have an overall caption

This is breaking some of @andrewpbray's extensions; I'm sure that's true for other folks as well. We're short on 1.6 time but I think we need to do something about this soon.
