Missing figure numbers

[wiraki]

Description

Hello,

This should be a quick question but I was not able to find a reply. Sometimes. when rendering a qmd to html, the "Figure X. " part is missing from the figure caption. The caption text is there and is correct, but the initial figure and number is not there.

What determines this behavior, so that I can fix my document? Last time this happened I had realized I had not included a #| label: in each code block that generated an image and that fixed it, but now I am pretty sure there is a #| label: directive every time but the figures are still not numbered.

I guess there is something obvious I am missing but I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

Well, I just figured it out.

Label must start with fig- like so:

#| label: fig-xxx
