It seems that the options
```
#| out-width: "0.5\\textwidth"
#| out-height: "0.32\\textwidth"
```
have no effect on .pdf output: the figure is not half sized; when I save the intermediate .tex file, there are no "textwidth" in the doc, _etc_. 
Is this expected? How should one set the output figure width in pdf output?</div>

`out-width` and `out-height` for latex figures can't be set to `\textwidth`
