Q-5-45 — book-scope chapter Ignored for a Whole-Book Render

A project, directory or document book-scope: chapter was ignored in a render of the whole book.

What this means

A book-scope: chapter set in _quarto.yml, a _metadata.yml or a document applies when one chapter is rendered. It does not turn a whole-book render (q2 render with no file) into a chapter render, and it is not an error.

How to fix

Nothing to fix. To render one chapter, name it (q2 render ch1.qmd).
