Quarto PDF: Adjust margins of captions in SUB-figures of figures
I'm using Quarto and rendering to PDF. I have figures with sub-figures. The captions of the sub-figures are lengthy (many words). The problem is that the sub-figure captions are not separated in the PDF. Here's an illustration of the problem; notice that there is no separation (white space) between the captions of the sub-figures:
I have tried using LaTeX commands such as \captionsetup{width=0.9\textwidth} but that only affects the main caption under both sub-figures and does not affect the sub-figure captions.
Below I include the full contents of minimal example.

documentclass: article
papersize: letter

\captionsetup{width=0.9\textwidth}
```{r include=FALSE, echo=FALSE, message=FALSE}
# Make dummy image
png("DummyFigure.png")
plot( c(0,1) , c(0,10) , xlim=c(0,1) , ylim=c(0,10) , type="b" )
dev.off()
```

{#fig-panelA width="200px"}
{#fig-panelB width="200px"}
**Here is the main caption below both subfigures.** Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Solution
You can use the command \captionsetup for subfigure to control the subcaptions. You can either use \captionsetup[subfigure]{margin=15pt} or \captionsetup[subfigure]{width=0.8\textwidth} to adjust the margins between the subcaptions.
