ref: Create counter for figure and tables

In eeholmes/SardineForecast: Indian Oil Sardine Data, Code and References for Papers on Forecasting

Description

Used in the R markdown files for figure and table counters.

Usage

ref(useName, pre = "", app = "")

Arguments

useName	name of the label. Must be of the form type:name, like fig:spawners
pre	tag to put in front of number. ref("fig:foo", pre="A") gives A1
app	tag to put at end of number

Details

Can be used anywhere in text or captions. First time it is called, the counter .refctr is given a number associated with the name and the number returned. Next time it is called, it checks if the name exists. If so, it returns its number. Note, after the first time ref is called, pre and app are ignored.

Use like so 'r ref("fig:1a")' whereever you need the number.

Note you need to define the environment of the rmarkdown file that is calling ref(). Add this at the top of the Rmd file if(!exists(".rmdenvir")) .rmdenvir = environment() .rmdenvir and .refctr will be created in the Rmd environment

Value

The number of the figure or table with pre or app added if needed.
