Creating Supplementary Figure 1,2,... in Quarto

[JauntyJJS]

Hi,

I tried to follow the instructions indicated in https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/figures.html to create figures in a word document.

However, instead of Figure 1 highlighted, is it possible to change it to Supplementary Figure 1 instead ?

The code written are as follows:

---
title: "Figure_Issue"
format: docx
---

::: {#fig-avatar layout-ncol=1}

You should be able to Accomplish this like so:

---
title: "Figure_Issue"
format: docx
crossref:
  fig-title: Supplementary Figure
  fig-prefix: Sup Fig
---

[figure_issue.zip](https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/files/9950580/figure_issue.zip)

::: {#fig-avatar layout-ncol=1}

I wanted to reopen this discussion because I personally prefer labelling supplementary figures as 'Figure S1', 'Figure S2', etc. I currently don't see a way to do this @dragonstyle ?

The closest I could get was fig-title: Figure S which results in 'Figure S 1' (not ideal)

I don't currently see a way to accomplish this - we currently always place a non-breaking space between the prefix and number. This would be a nice enhancement to support and @cscheid is planning to do work in this area for Quarto 1.4. Would you mind opening an enhancement request?

Sure! Via Issues or Discussions > Feature Requests?

Issues would great, ty!

Could I ask if this feature is still in-progress or if there is a way we can do this?

Specifically, I'm looking to have two separate sets of figures:

• The first set of figures should be numbered like Figure 1, ...

• The second set of figures should be numbered like Figure S1, ...

Both sets of figures are referenced in the same document. Of course, I could make two separate documents and then try to stitch them together at the end. But I'm hoping there is a less laborious path forward.

By the way, if there is any way to write extensions or plugins for quarto, I'd appreciate if anyone would share your favorite link that describes how to get started on writing and using an extension.

Also, it'd be great if this discussion had a link to the relevant GitHub Issue, because I arrived here via a search engine.

See https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/cross-references-custom.html.

Reading the documentation should get you started: https://quarto.org/docs/extensions/.

Thanks, the custom cross references link is exactly what I was looking for.
