I would like to center a mermaid graph in pdf Quarto document. I tried using %%| fig-align
in the code chunk, but this doesn't work. Here is some reproducible code:

How to center a mermaid graph in pdf Quarto?
```{mermaid}
%%| fig-align: center
flowchart LR
A[Hard edge] --> B(Round edge)
B --> C{Decision}
```
Output:
As you can see the graph is not centered in the document. So I was wondering if anyone knows how to center a mermaid graph in pdf Quarto? I'm using Quarto v1.4.
Once the %%| label:
argument is set to fig-SOMETHING
then the fig-align
argument works properly.

```{mermaid}
%%| label: fig-figure
%%| fig-align: center
flowchart LR
A[Hard edge] --> B(Round edge)
B --> C{Decision}
```
Output:
My guess is that quarto needs to know that the chunk is producing a figure for other figure arguments to take effect. By including %%| label: fig-figure
quarto then will process fig-align
arguments.
