Is there a way to write a Quarto doc that opens with "This is the plot we are going to produce" then the image, then the code that makes the plot in a possibly variable number of code/text chunks, then at the end the plot again? Without duplicating code. Can I put a markdown image tag at the start that is going to refer to the image that a future chunk is going to produce? Haven't tried yet but maybe its been done. qmd to HTML and/or PDF.
@geospacedman Not everything you asked for, but an attempt based on https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/contents.html

This is the plot that we are going to make
{{< contents a-cell >}}
Here is the code for making the plot
::: {#a-cell}
```{r}
#| echo: false
#| label: plot-code
plot(sample(1:10), sample(1:10))
```
:::
```{r}
#| echo: true
#| eval: false
#| label: plot-code
```
The plot again
{{< contents a-cell >}}
And code yet again
```{r}
#| echo: true
#| eval: false
#| label: plot-code
```
