单文件记录文档中的交叉引用

Question

One of the promises of the bookdown package is functions for automatic numbering of figure/table captions, and cross-referencing figures/tables/sections.

This is claimed to be enabled for single-Rmd bookdown, if we use bookdown::html_document2 in the YAML: https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/a-single-document.html

Looking at the raw rmarkdown for that chapter of the bookdown manual, I've tried to follow the instructions to make a single Rmd file that can use those cross-referencing functions. But I can't get it to render as expected, with cross-references.

Here's a simple example Rmd:

---
output: bookdown::html_document2
---

Here's the cross-ref: \@ref(fig:cars-fig) 

Here's the figure:

```{r cars-fig, fig.cap = 'Here is a plot about cars'}
plot(cars)
```

Here's the output I get when I click on the knit button in RStudio, the cross-references are not quite working as expected:

How can I get the cross-referencing to show figure numbers and be a live link to the figure? And how can I get the caption to be formatted as expected?

Here's my session info:

Answer 1

This was a bug in the bookdown package and I have fixed it. The figure number should be generated correctly if you use bookdown >= 0.0.75.
