Crossref in table caption not being resolved when using Quarto

[cschwarz-stat-sfu-ca]

I can use @tbl-tablename or @fig-figname in a figure caption and they are resolved properly. However, if I try and crossreference in a table caption, it is not resolved.

MWE and output attached

Thanks. Carl Schwarz

Cross references in tables and figures

This is a standard xref to @tbl-map-unit-strata which works fine.

#| echo: false
#| warning: false
#| message: false

library(ggplot2)

map.unit.stratum.csv <- textConnection(
"Sample..Map.Unit, Stratum
19, L
18, M
17, L
")
map.unit.stratum <- read.csv(map.unit.stratum.csv, header=TRUE, as.is=TRUE, strip.white=TRUE)

#| echo: false
#| warning: false
#| message: false
#| tbl-cap: "Map unit strata"
#| label: tbl-map-unit-strata

ft <- flextable::flextable(map.unit.stratum)
ft

We can reference the table in a caption for a figure as shown below

#| echo: false
#| warning: false
#| message: false
#| fig-cap: Reference to @tbl-map-unit-strata in a figure caption works fine.
#| label: figl-map-unit-strata

df <- data.frame(x=1:10, y=1:10)
ggplot(data=df, aes(x=x, y=y))+
   geom_point()

The following doesn't seem to work since the cross reference is not resolved in the captions.

#| echo: false
#| warning: false
#| message: false
#| tbl-cap: Map unit strata 2 wich references  @tbl-map-unit-strata
#| label: tbl-map-unit-strata2

ft <- flextable::flextable(map.unit.stratum[1:5,])
ft

#| echo: false
#| warning: false
#| message: false

Thanks,

Quarto is managing captions on its own. We can't do anything about the way it manages them. As you can see here https://github.com/davidgohel/flextable/blob/master/R/printers.R#L350 and here https://github.com/davidgohel/flextable/blob/master/R/latex_str.R#L219, there is no code in flextable that manage captions for quarto!

I think quarto team made improvements with the latest versions of quarto. I have no idea what version of quarto you are using but I recommend updating it regularly as it is in active development.

Thanks for your quick reply... I'm running the current release of quarto... I'll submit this issue to quarto. Thanks.

Carl.

BTW, it is possible to include a crossref in a footnote? If you have @ref in a string it is not resolved. There must be some settings in the as_paragraph() that would allow it to be resolved? Thanks Carl

thank you

this issue of xref in table captions seems to be fixed

Yes, I can see that with Quarto 1.4.549

it is possible to include a crossref in a footnote?

No sorry, Quarto doesn't scan content that isn't markdown and flextable provides latex, Word or HTML code and not markdown.
