Figure and table caption has a full stop(.) between caption number and colon in PDF output

[yoonghm]

Description

I have a qmd file wih a figure:

![Comparison of various databases](./img/Database_Compare.png){#fig-databases}

HTML output shows:

However, PDF out shows:

How do I hide or remove the full stop (.) between caption number and colon?

Right now, I have no idea.

Please take the habit to provide a complete reproducible Quarto document and not just parts of one and screenshots. Thank you.

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.
````

I tried to create a simple document from project. The problem does not appear. Let me check out myself. Thank you for the pointer.

[yoonghm]

The full stop appeared once I have added an Appendix qmd document.
Test.zip

Could you share it as plain text as showed in my previous reply or as a Git repository?

Your example is overly complex for no obvious reason. Please simplify your example to only include what's needed to highlight your issue (remove every unnecessary options, such as the HTML format, lof, etc.).

Try to expand from the following to figure out which of your options causes the "dot" to appear:

---
format:
  pdf:
    documentclass: scrbook
---

# Header 1

## Sub header 1

![Quarto Logo](https://quarto.org/quarto.png){#fig-logo}

[mcanouil]

It seems to be because of the appendices.

See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/444129/dots-after-chapter-and-section-numbers-in-scrbook-when-using-chapters-in-appendi.

TL;DR:

classoption:
  - numbers=noenddot
