Figure titles/captions not appearing in bookdown book

jmichaelrosenberg · November 22, 2021, 12:29pm

Hi there, I am specifying figure titles/captions in a bookdown book using the chunk option fig.cap = "Example title". However, it doesn't seem to be working.

See, for example, the figure titles in this chapter and .Rmd file: little-kids-big-trips/03aa-abrams.Rmd at main · jrosen48/little-kids-big-trips · GitHub

Here's the rendered chapter: Abrams Creek | Trails

Thanks for any advice/tips!

I believe this is because you set fig_caption to FALSE for the output

github.com

jrosen48/little-kids-big-trips/blob/main/_output.yml#L3

    
      
          bookdown::gitbook:
            fontfamily: gill
            fig_caption: false
            css: style.css
            config:
              toc:
                collapse: section
                before: |
                  <li><a href="./">Little Kids, Big Adventures</a></li>
                after: |
                  <li><a href="https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown" target="blank">Published with bookdown</a></li>
              download: ["pdf", "epub"]
              fig_height: 5.3

So caption are not added but the content of fig.cap is used for title and alt text
