Huxtable -> bookdown -> word caption numbering problem

[jjanmaat]

Hello,

I have a Rmarkdown document with multiple tables and figures. Am using huxtable for the tables and bookdown::word_document2 in the knitr instructions.

I only get caption numbering for two of the tables and two of the figures. The remainder have numberings of the form (#tab:chunk_name) immediately before the caption. The two that are numbered are not the first two. Have tried adding blank lines, adding lines and text between chunks, etc. Nothing seems to change it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Can you provide a minimal reproducible example, please?

Hope it is just something simple I am doing wrong, or just don't understand.

Thank you. So here, all the tables have this problem. One more thing: what version of officer are you using?

[hughjonesd]

And same question for flextable…

[hughjonesd]

One other simple question: have you set the option huxtable.use_bookdown = TRUE?

[jjanmaat]

Hello

To answer your questions.

Adding

library(huxtable) options(huxtable.use_bookdown=TRUE) options(huxtable.bookdown=TRUE)

didn’t change anything for the test script. Had tried these with the original as well.

Office version is Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019

flextable version is 0.8.3.

Thanks for looking into it.

John.

You can solve your problem by using labels without spaces in. Replace {r table 1, ...} with {r table1, ...}, etc. and the tables will be numbered as usual.

I think this is probably not a bug, because nothing in knitr says that it is legitimate to embed a space within the chunk label (https://yihui.org/knitr/options/). Indeed, that page says "Try to avoid spaces, periods (.), and underscores (_) in chunk labels and paths."

Hello David,

Thanks for responding. Guess I should read the documentation more carefully!

John.
