RMarkdown numbering multiple figures/tables in one chunk - r

My RMarkdown document has code chunks that generate multiple figures or tables from within one chunk. For instance, it loops through a bunch of variables to generate summary statistics tables for each variable. The problem is that the numbering of these figures/tables is often wrong when I try to generate a HTML document; this problem doesn't happen when I compile a PDF. The problem is that all the tables generated from the same chunk would get the same table number.
Here is an example:
---
title: "Testing Section Numbers"
author: "Authors"
date: "January 2019"
output:
bookdown::gitbook:
number_sections: yes
editor_options:
chunk_output_type: console
---
# R Markdown
Text text text
```{r pressure1, echo=FALSE, fig.cap=c("This is my plot", "This is my other plot")}
plot(pressure)
plot(iris)
```
```{r pressure2, echo=FALSE}
library(knitr)
kable(pressure, caption = "My first table")
kable(pressure, caption = "My second table")
```

This is due to a bug of knitr, which I just fixed in the development version on Github. Please try
remotes::install_github('yihui/knitr')

Extracting a list of LaTeX figure and caption labels from RMarkdown to copy into Overleaf

I am working with coauthors. We want to produce all figures and tables (including an appendix) in a single RMarkdown document but write the paper jointly in Overleaf (excellent for simultaneous editing, which we don't need for the statistical code).
Here is an example Rmd which knits to a pdf. (The pdf will be appended manually to the main paper.)
---
title: "Nice document"
output: pdf_document
date: '2022-08-12'
---
```{r}
library(kableExtra)
```
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="\\label{fig:pressure} Nice caption."}
plot(pressure)
```
```{r echo=FALSE, fig.cap="\\label{fig:diffpressure} Better caption."}
kable(head(mtcars), longtable = T, booktabs = T, caption = "Cool table", label = "tab:carssummary")
```
\appendix
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\setcounter{table}{0}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{S\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{S\arabic{table}}
```{r echo=FALSE, fig.cap="\\label{fig:diffpressure} Better caption."}
plot(pressure/3.5)
```
I want a extract a character vector from the Rmd that is the following:
\begin{figure}
\caption{empty}
\label{fig:pressure}
\end{figure}
\begin{table}
\caption{empty}
\label{tab:carssummary}
\end{table}
\appendix
\setcounter{figure}{0}
\setcounter{table}{0}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{S\arabic{figure}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{S\arabic{table}}
\begin{figure}
\caption{empty}
\label{fig:pressure2}
\end{figure}
I will then copy and paste this to the bottom of the Overleaf doc, enabling us to do the automated cross referencing with minimal hassle (and easy updating if and when the analysis output changes).
How can I extract that LaTeX code from the Rmd?
Assuming your markdown document is called test.rmd and you included the keep_tex: true option to the header
---
title: "Nice document"
output:
pdf_document:
keep_tex: true
date: '2022-08-12'
---
You can upload the test.aux file to overleaf and then include the cross-refs in your overleaf document with the xr-hyper package:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xr-hyper}
\externaldocument{test}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
some cross-ref: \ref{fig:diffpressure}
\end{document}

How do I use themes for R Markdown with github_document as output?

I was told to write a report in R Markdown with the following template:
---
title: "Data Dictionary"
output: github_document
date: "Last Updated: `r format(Sys.time(), '%d, %B, %Y at %H:%M')`"
---
I want to use readthedown theme from rmdformats package, however I could not find a tutorial on how to do so properly. My question is, is it possible to use a theme with this template? Any help would be appreciated!
Assuming you already have installed the package, remotes::install_github("juba/rmdformats"), just pass rmdformats::readthedown to the output YAML:
---
title: "Untitled"
date: "Last Updated: `r format(Sys.time(), '%d, %B, %Y at %H:%M')`"
output: rmdformats::readthedown
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
## R Markdown
This is an R Markdown document. Markdown is a simple formatting syntax for authoring HTML, PDF, and MS Word documents. For more details on using R Markdown see <http://rmarkdown.rstudio.com>.
When you click the **Knit** button a document will be generated that includes both content as well as the output of any embedded R code chunks within the document. You can embed an R code chunk like this:
```{r cars}
summary(cars)
```
## Including Plots
You can also embed plots, for example:
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE}
plot(pressure)
```
Note that the `echo = FALSE` parameter was added to the code chunk to prevent printing of the R code that generated the plot.

R Markdown, numbering not showing for figure captions in HTML and Word

I am putting together an R Markdown document in HTML, and I have the following YAML:
---
title: "R Markdown Example"
author: "Me"
date: "October 30, 2017"
output:
html_document:
fig_width: 7
fig_height: 6
fig_caption: true
code_folding: "show"
---
I am trying to insert a figure with auto-numbered caption with the following code:
```{r, fig.cap="Figure caption \\label{fig_1}"}
plot(mtcars$hp, mtcars$mpg)
```
But the caption number won't show up. When I try to reference the image in the text
(Figure \ref{fig_1})
I just get:
(Figure )
I have the same problem. This only happens for Word and HTML outputs, so I think I may be using LaTeX documentation instead of the proper input for these types. I've tried a lot of the different recommendations for figure captions, but I can't seem to get any of it to work.
I needed to output to Word to adhere to a journal that only accepted Word... So I ended up using the captioner package. This should also work with html and pdf.
library(captioner)
fig_nums <- captioner()
In my r chunk I put my plot code and then the caption comes directly after the chunk in ticks, using the fig_nums function ``:
```{r}
plot(pressure)
```
`r fig_nums("pressure-plot", "pressure against temperature")`
It looks like this in the Word output:
Then I can refer to it in text like this:
As you can see from the nice visualisation in r fig_nums("pressure-plot", display = "cite") the pressure rises as
temperature rises.
This will show as:
As you can see from the nice visualisation in Figure 1 the pressure rises as
temperature rises
Be sure to run the first time you use, and check-out for more info:
install.packages("captioner")
vignette("using_captioner")
You can use the bookdown::html_document2 format.
---
title: "Untitled"
output: bookdown::html_document2
---
```{r pressure, echo=FALSE, fig.cap='test plot'}
plot(pressure)
```
\#ref(fig:pressure)

Code in Columns in RMarkdown presentation

Often when I include r code in a rmarkdown pdf presentation, I want to use the space of the whole slide and therefore want to present the code and the output side-by-side.
In pure LaTex I would go for \begin{columns}...\end{columns} and then include the code/output manually using lstlistings or some other code-highlighting library. But that proves tedious if I exceed a couple of code examples.
Now I want to use RMarkdown for the presentations and would like to achieve a similar result.
However, the following code throws an error:
## This is slide 1
\begin{columns}[t]
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
```{r, eval=F}
plot(1:10)
```
\end{column}
\begin{column}{0.5\textwidth}
```{r, echo=F}
plot(1:10)
```
\end{column}
\end{columns}
Leaving out the knitr code-chunks and replacing them with text works.
I am aware that it has something to do with the pandoc engine (see here), but wanted to ask if anybody has found a way around this issue.
Well, I may should have looked with a wider focus.
Here is a solution that works for Python, but can easily be adapted to Rmarkdown: https://stackoverflow.com/a/26069751/3048453
I ended up with this code:
in header.tex
\newcommand{\columnsbegin}{\begin{columns}}
\newcommand{\columnsend}{\end{columns}}
in presentation.Rmd
---
title: "Two-column codes in RMarkdown"
author: "My Name"
date: "February 4, 2017"
output:
beamer_presentation:
includes:
in_header: header.tex
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE)
```
## Testslide with Columns
\columnsbegin
\column{.5\textwidth}
```{r, eval=F}
plot(mtcars[, 1:3])
```
\column{.5\textwidth}
```{r, echo=F}
plot(mtcars[, 1:3])
```
\columnsend
Which results in this

knitr plots, labels, and captions within one chunk - .Rmd files

Jallen produced a solution for producing knitr plots, labels, and captions within one chunk - for Rnw files.
knitr plots, labels, and captions within one chunk
This works nicely for .Rnw but I can't make it work for .Rmd, don't see what is going wrong...

output:
pdf_document:
fig_caption: yes
fig_crop: no

```{r startup,echo=FALSE,results='hide',message=FALSE,tidy=FALSE,warning=FALSE,fig.keep='all',comment=NA}
require(knitr)
require(ggplot2)
opts_knit$set(progress = F, verbose = F)
opts_chunk$set(comment=NA,
tidy=FALSE,
warning=FALSE,
message=FALSE,
echo=FALSE,

```
```{r plotloop,results='asis'}
for(x in seq(1,20)){
x1<-data.frame(x=seq(1,10),y=seq(1,10))
plt<-ggplot(data=x1,aes(x,y))+geom_point()
figLabel=paste('Figure',x,sep='')
capt<-paste('Caption for fig.',x)
cat(knit(text=(paste("```{r ",figLabel,",fig.pos='h',fig.cap='",capt,"'}\nplt\n```",sep=''))))
cat('\\newpage')
plot.knit function in knitr plots, labels, and captions within one chunk can be modified to account for the syntax of markdown as opposed to latex. plot.knit.md becomes
plot.knit.md<-function(chunkLabel,#text for chunk label which is also used for figure file name
capt,#text for caption
plt,
...)
{
cat(knit(text=knit_expand(text="```{r, {{chunkLabel}},eval=TRUE,fig.cap='{{capt}}',echo=FALSE}\nplt\n```"),
quiet=TRUE))
}
This works in the following markdown doc.

output:
html_document: default
pdf_document:

This is an R Markdown document to demonstrate the generation of self-contained code chunks in a markdown file. It is particularly useful for situations where multiple plots are generated in a single code chunk allowing for dynamic label and caption support.
This example draws on

in response to
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27443019/knitr-plots-labels-and-captions-within-one-chunk-rmd-files
Items to note:
#. output pdf_document fig_caption option must be set to yes
#. plot.knit has been modified to plot.knit.md to account for the different syntax needed.
```{r, echo=FALSE,results='asis'}
plot.knit.md<-function(chunkLabel,#text for chunk label which is also used for figure file name
capt,#text for caption
plt,
...)
{
cat(knit(text=knit_expand(text="```{r, {{chunkLabel}},eval=TRUE,fig.cap='{{capt}}',echo=FALSE}\nplt\n```"),
quiet=TRUE))
}
require(ggplot2)
cars.p<-ggplot(cars,aes(x=speed,y=dist))+
geom_point()
plot.knit.md(chunkLabel="carsPlot",capt="this is a caption for the cars plot",plt=cars.p)
```
One thing to figure out though is the attachment of labels...
