 - ([#14976](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/pull/14976)): Fix KaTeX math not rendering on pages with Jupyter widgets when `html-math-method` is set with the object form (`method: katex` and `url`).
+- ([#15051](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/pull/15051)): Fix a callout's `title` option also rendering as an HTML `title` attribute in html, revealjs and epub output, which showed the title as a tooltip over the whole callout.

+The `title` option of a callout is rendered as the callout heading.
+It must not also be passed through as an HTML `title` attribute, which browsers show as a tooltip over the whole callout.
+In html the leftover attributes are copied onto the `.callout` div; in revealjs they go on a wrapper div, so a titled callout with only an id needs no wrapper.
+Other leftover attributes such as `data-*` are still passed through.
