RMarkdown suppress automatic figure numbering to html

Question

Is there a way to suppress automatic figure numbering made by rmarkdown? The first plot rendered by R is the second figure, it added a Figure 1: prefix which is not what I need. I see a solution for PDF output but not html output.

Best,

Answer 1

It's difficult to know what you are looking for without a minimal reproducible example . But maybe you are looking for bookdown::html_document2 output.

Try the following:

---
title: "Example Document"
author: "Your name here"
output:
  bookdown::html_document2
---


```{r cars, fig.cap = "plot"}   # Figure with caption
plot(cars)
```


```{r cars3, fig.cap = ""} # Figure without caption
plot(cars)
```

This is the output of the above:
