How to crossref tbl?

[annezheng2]

Description

I’m having an issue where I am unable to crossref tables. And I am getting the error: “WARNING: Unable to resolve crossref @tbl-test” when I try to render a PDF. The image generates as below but “?@tbl-test” appears rather than “Table 1”.

@tbl-test
![Test Caption](Text/test.tex){#tbl-test} 

Ideally, it should function like Figure does below:

@fig-test
![Test Caption](Text/test.tex){#fig-test}

I tried using png and pdf as well and get the same error

@tbl-test
![Test Caption](Text/test.pdf){#tbl-test}

![Test Caption](Text/test.tex) is the syntax for images, not for tables.
And .tex is definitely not a image extension.
I don't know what you try to do exactly.

Could you share a small self-contained "working" (reproducible) example to work with, i.e., a complete Quarto document or a Git repository? Thanks.

You can share a Quarto document using the following syntax, i.e., using more backticks than you have in your document (usually four ````).

````qmd
---
title: "Reproducible Quarto Document"
format: html
---

This is a reproducible Quarto document using `format: html`.
It is written in Markdown and contains embedded R code.
When you run the code, it will produce a plot.

```{r}
plot(cars)
```

The end.
````

This being said, with the upcoming redesign of the cross-reference system (watch #4944) you are going to be able to do weird thing such as referencing a table as a video, a theorem as a table, etc.
