PDF suddenly does not support multiple page orientation

[lamurian]

Bug description

User story

As a user, I want to configure multiple page orientations so I can render both landscape and portrait pages in one pdf document.

Issue

When compiling test.qmd and test2.qmd, neither could produce a pdf document with multiple page orientations. I compiled both qmd files using quarto render <filename>. I kept the tex files for further debugging, and when rendering test.tex I got this warning:

Package typearea Warning: Bad type area settings!
(typearea)                The detected line width is about 48%
(typearea)                larger than the heuristically estimated maximum
(typearea)                limit of typographical good line width.
(typearea)                You should e.g. decrease DIV, increase fontsize
(typearea)                or change papersize.

Package typearea Info: Using dirty hack to recalculate internal output

I had defined DIV=10, so I'm not sure what the cause of this warning. Meanwhile, when rendering test2.tex I had no warning or error.

Steps to reproduce

Files to reproduce the issues

File test.qmd

---
title: Test file
format:
  pdf:
    keep-tex: true
    include-in-header:
      text: |
        \usepackage{typearea}
---

# Portrait page

{{< pagebreak >}}

\KOMAoptions{paper=landscape, pagesize}
\recalctypearea

# Landscape page

{{< pagebreak >}}

File test2.qmd

---
title: Test file 2
format:
  pdf:
    documentclass: article
    keep-tex: true
    include-in-header:
      text: |
        \usepackage{pdflscape}
        \newcommand{\blandscape}{\begin{landscape}}
        \newcommand{\elandscape}{\end{landscape}}
---

# Portrait page

{{< pagebreak >}}

\blandscape

# Landscape page

\elandscape

Command used

quarto render test.qmd
quarto render test2.qmd
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode test.tex
xelatex -interaction=nonstopmode test2.tex

Expected behavior

Both files should render as pdf documents with multiple page orientations, as demonstrated in:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74229798/create-a-multiple-page-orientation-in-a-single-quarto-pdf-output
• https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/337/how-to-change-certain-pages-into-landscape-portrait-mode

Actual behavior

The pdf output only has portrait pages, screenshots are as follows:

You need to use raw LaTeX inline or blocks.

I am going ahead and close this issue as I don't see anything not working when using the proper syntax to include raw code.

Feel free to reopen with additional information if you still have issue.

I just installed the quarto pre-release 1.6.23 and landscape come out-of-the-box, see: #10581,
else you can use the extension from which it originates edvinsyk/quarto-landscape]
