[FR] Add prefixes to cross-references
I would really like a way to prepend cross-references automatically with a prefix, e.g., if I use the prefix “Figure”, I see \@ref(fig:chunk-name) rendered as Figure n.
I know I can do it manually, e.g. Figure \@ref(fig:chunk-name), but it would be nice to be able to automate!
I am currently writing a bookdown book which already has >400 pages. It has numerous theorem and proof chunks, and since a couple of days these do not work any more (Rstudio 1.4.1717, latest bookdown from Github, OS X Big Sur 11.5 beta). For some reason numerous \iffalse ... \fi are inserted, even in the gitbook output format. See example .Rmd file (disguised as .txt).
@deleeuw please open a new issue - this is not directly related to this feature request. Let's keep things clean and discussion in thread bound to one topic.
Please open a new issue and provide all the useful information. BTW you can include attachment using a zip file which prevent doing any disguise. You can also paste the Rmd directly in the issue https://yihui.org/issue/#please-format-your-issue-correctly
@cderv This indeed needs to be a new issue instead of a reply, but I just tried @deleeuw's example and it was actually reproducible to me. If you have a chance, could you take a quick look and see if you can figure out what went wrong (possibly in the recent release of bookdown)?
On the other hand, @deleeuw you could try to switch to the new syntax for theorems: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/markdown-extensions-by-bookdown.html#theorems (Section 2.2.2.1 has instructions on the conversion from the old to new syntax)
Thanks @yihui. Sorry for the delay on this.
@deleeuw I opened a new issue in #1178 where we can follow up. There is indeed a bug we'll fix quickly. Thanks for the report!
I would also like to ask for this feature, I thought this is what the label option under language might do (specially if provided with a function) but it doesn't seem to work: https://community.rstudio.com/t/changing-labels-of-cross-references-on-bookdown/126621. Thanks in advance for all the work on making it easier to write and publish documents with mixed content.
