Hello, may I ask for some help with a question I post on GitHub:

Help with using flextable in officedown

Hello, it seems that there's a problem when using `flextable` in `officedown`: t…he caption appears at the bottom of the table, and the suffix for numbering chunk (“:”) can't be changed. I prepared a piece of code to reproduce the problem: `````` --- output: officedown::rdocx_document: tables: caption: sep: '. ' --- ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set( echo = FALSE, fig.cap = TRUE, message = FALSE, warning = FALSE ) library(officedown) library(officer) library(flextable) library(tidyverse) ``` ```{r} tribble( ~ model, ~ column_1, ~ column_2, "GLM", "1", "25", "RF", "1", "25", "XRT", "1", "25" ) %>% flextable() %>% set_caption("Models trained and evaluated during multiple algorithms assessment.", autonum = run_autonum(seq_id = "tab", bkm = "models")) ``` `````` It would be rendered as: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/48895627/145673009-ca841f8e-ac2b-47fa-a4ac-1474ddebd570.png) I was wondering, how to make the caption above the table, and use ". " as the suffix of number?
