To follow up on this, the current call to HTMLWriter only passes three arguments:

matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/animation.py

Lines 1359 to 1361 in 6b2cecc

writer = HTMLWriter(fps=fps,
embed_frames=embed_frames,
default_mode=default_mode)

but there are several more parameters that it could set:

matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/animation.py

Lines 796 to 798 in 6b2cecc

def __init__(self, fps=30, codec=None, bitrate=None, extra_args=None,
metadata=None, embed_frames=False, default_mode='loop',
embed_limit=None):

So we could thread through the frame_format parameter in this PR, but I think it might be better handled in a separate PR that focuses entirely on exposing internal animation parameters. This I think is independent of the issue in this thread, where the rcParams does not allow us to set a default at all currently. Fixing the rcparams check (#17909 ) seems necessary to me, exposing more API seems nice-to-have.
