apaquarto-pdf does not remove all temporary files

[cbrnr]

When rendering an apaquarto-pdf document containing figures and tables, there are two temporary files (called <name>.fff and <name>.ttt) remaining in the directory (where <name> is the base name of the Quarto document). I think these files should be deleted automatically, along with other temporary files like .aux etc. (where this already happens). Is this something that your extension has to take care of, or does Quarto have to do that?

I believe it is something that LaTeX does, not Quarto or apaquarto. The .ttt files usually contain notes, warnings, and errors about tables (e.g., that LaTeX could not fit something in a table cell). https://www.overleaf.com/learn/how-to/How_to_find_and_fix_errors_reported_in_generated_files

Yes, apaquarto seems to invoke endfloat to move the figures to the end of the document. However, since using Quarto to render a PDF via LaTeX generates several auxiliary files (such as .tex, .aux, ...), which are cleaned up automatically, I think .fff and .ttt files should also be removed. @cscheid is this correct and if so should Quarto or apaquarto clean up?
