I began to use Quarto generate pdf files one or two months ago. It works well until I encountered “ERROR: No inspectable targets” today. Following are relevant info
Operating system: Windows 11 with vscode with quarto 1.2.280
Works well to generate html files but fails in generating pdf files
It seems that problem arose in generating mermaid and dot diagrams because it works well after I delete relevant parts.
It is a strange error because I don’t modify any relevant setting recently. Much thanks for your help.

### Bug description
Hello,
Í'm using:
- Latest version of R (4.2.2)
- Late… st version of Rstudio (2022.12.0 Build 353)
- Latest Quarto (version 1.2.335)
- Windows 10 Enterprise 22H2
When rendering a PDF from a .QMD-file containing a Mermaid diagram [(https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/diagrams.html)](https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/diagrams.html), my Rstudio gives the error "ERROR: No inspectable targets" and crashes (I'm unable to press stop).
In the past the same .QMD file rendered to PDF without any problem. Rendering to .HTML still works. The same error was recently reported by an Obsidian user: [https://forum.obsidian.md/t/about-quarto-no-inspectable-targets-error/54757](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/about-quarto-no-inspectable-targets-error/54757).
The .QMD-file i'm using can be found in the attached .ZIP (Github doesn't allow uploading QMD's directly, therefore I zipped).
Thanks for the good work!
Best,
Thomas
