Cross referencing book parts?

[fuhrmanator]

I'm trying to include exercises in my book, and I started doing it as appendices, but decided to use parts. So my _quarto.yml looks like:

  chapters:
    - index.qmd # Preface
    - part: Theory.qmd
      chapters:
      - Intro.qmd
      # ...
    - part: Exercises.qmd
      chapters:
      - Exercise_blah.qmd
      # ...

In my "Theory.qmd" I'm trying to refer to the "Exercises" part via an @sec-exercises label that I defined on the # Exercises {#sec-exercises} in Exercises.qmd. But there are two problems:

• The code-completion (VSCode) doesn't find the @sec-exercises
• Quarto render/preview gives me WARNING: Unable to resolve crossref @sec-exercises and the PDF has ?@sec-exercises

Is this a bug, or is there some other prefix part-? required for part labels?

I tried using a div like ::: {#sec-exercises} around the part content, but it doesn't help.

Hello @fuhrmanator and thanks for the message.

Cross reference to book part

I was able to reproduce the bug that you reported. I created #3234 to keep track of it.

I don't use VSCode and I will let other people provide their reply.
