Hi everyone,
I would like to include figures & tables in a post written in Rmarkdown,
have them automatically numbered,
and refer to them in the text.
I have already figured out the automatically numbering part,
using shortcodes + CSS counter (see my own reply for a link to this).
I also figured out how to refer to a figure using its ID in the text,
such as:
As shown in [figure](#sales-scatter-figure), blah blah
However, I could not find a good solution for the last part.
For example, how can I do the following:
As shown in *figure 4.1*, blah blah
in which, the label “4.1” would be automatically generated
and hyperlinked to the corresponding figure, rather than hard-coded by the author.
I have been searching everywhere for a solution,
and the closest thing I have found so far seemd very cumbersome,
and did not allow for hyperlink.
Instead, I would like to achieve this effect,
but without having to bypass hugo completely and use bookdown.
Any help would be much appreciated!
