fig-pos for custom cross-reference types

[mdrnao]

Description

I'm struggling to understand how to make custom cross reference floats stay in the specified place.

For figure types, I know I can do:

---
title: Float Specifier
format:
  pdf:
    fig-pos: H
---

Or:

![A placeholder image](https://placehold.co/600x400.png){fig-pos='H'}

However, with a custom one defined in the yaml header:

crossref:
  custom:
    - kind: float
      key: suppfig
      latex-env: suppfig
      reference-prefix: Figure S
      space-before-numbering: false
      latex-list-of-description: Supplementary Figure

Neither of these in the .tex file added the [H] to \begin{suppfig} as we see for the figure type \begin{figure}[H]

Any pointers in the right direction would be appreciated!

      latex-env: suppfig
      reference-prefix: Figure S
      space-before-numbering: false

try suppfig-pos?

Ha. oh god, so sorry. Yes that worked!

I tried it initially in the header, but didn't think to try it in the { } space which does work.
Thank you!

No worries - unfortunately, this is a situation where our documentation is poor, because there's no easy way to search for -pos, etc. Glad it's sorted out.

Most of it has been super helpful, it's very much appreciated!
