Global cell defaults

[ute]

Here is the pull request for my feature suggestion, #172

It is just a proof-of-concept, maybe it can be solved in a very different way, or you even have planned something more general.

(sorry, I am really clumsy at GitHubbing ;-))

@ute so, I removed the font-size part from this PR in favor of working on it in #175.

I've added a demo document in docs/demos, a test in tests/, and a new release note.

If you're okay with the changes, please let me know and I'll merge it in. Otherwise, if there are changes you think should be made, please go ahead and let me know when I should re-look at the PR.

Thanks again for submitting a PR and the discussion! 🎉

Thank you, James, and great documentation 💯 🎉 ! As for the yaml key: you came up with some nice suggestions for the name cell-defaults (still better than celldefaults), I am happy with anything 😄 you decide for (almost anything but banana)

[coatless]

@ute I'm inclined to keep it at cell-defaults; though, looking at how Quarto lists out code cell options in https://quarto.org/docs/reference/cells/cells-knitr.html

Maybe we should opt for:

• code-cell-defaults
• code-cell-options
• cell-option-defaults

[coatless]

From pinging the internet, we have:

• cell-defaults +1
• cell-options +2

I am not on mastodon (👍for asking the public voice) but I've read chunk options so often recently 🤔

[coatless]

@ute I thought about that a lot (c.f. the opts-chunk-set in #172 (comment)); but, in a lot of the documentation in Quarto there's a preference toward "Code Cells". Within the R-specific documentation, they adopt "Code Chunks" or "Code Blocks"

Viewing any non-RStudio documentation entry for the getting started:

https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/vscode.html#code-cells

Vs. RStudio entry:

https://quarto.org/docs/get-started/hello/rstudio.html#code-chunks

---

The computation block switches to Code Blocks and describes "cell level options"

https://quarto.org/docs/computations/r.html#code-blocks

---

So, in VS code it shows:

But, in RStudio we have chunks:

I'm partial to go more towards cell-options than chunk-options; but, @ute I'm going to let you pick the name since there isn't a clear consensus and you developed the feature. Sound okay?

[ute]

I am also mainly using vs code now - lets go for cell options then. You need not take consideration of me, though. It is you who develops the package, and I can see you put a lot of thought into syntax and documentation 😊👍

[coatless]

@ute thanks for the kind words! I've updated it from cell-defaults to cell-options. In we go!

Thanks again for the PR 🎉
