Numbering tt_to_flextable in Quarto
For my reporting, being able to number tables and figures is essential; my attempts to keep up with the working/non-working solutions for html and Microsoft word fills gists (https://gist.github.com/dmenne/f8eb291c9e71a5de44764d442e8bdefd).
When trying to update the gist, I noted that tt_to_flextable does not create table numbering, but flextable alone does. For ASCII tables, see Quatro-Team: "We are working on this" for one year now
---
title: "tabletest"
tbl-cap-location: bottom
echo: false
---
#| include: false
library(rtables)
library(kableExtra)
df = data.frame(a = 1:3, b = letters[1:3])
#| label: tbl-flex1
#| tbl-cap: Flextable caption
flextable::flextable(df)
#| label: tb-qtable
#| tbl-cap: ASCII Table
qtable(df)
#| label: tb-flex2
#| tbl-cap: rtable to flex
qtable(df) |> tt_to_flextable()
No table numbering
tt_to_flextable() returns a flextable object, so you should be able to add it in post-processing, right? like with set_caption (https://davidgohel.github.io/flextable/reference/set_caption.html)
It's a workaroun, but i would be much better if Quarto chunks would be honored.
Closing this as it seems something more relevant to the quarto team than us. Feel free to reopen if there are updates
