How do I reference a specific table using this skill?

You use the syntax '\@ref(tab:chunk-name)'. Ensure your R code chunk is named and includes a 'caption' argument within the 'knitr::kable()' function.

Does this skill support PDF and Word outputs?

Yes, it provides configuration patterns for 'pdf_document2', 'word_document2', 'gitbook', and 'epub_book' to ensure cross-referencing works across all supported formats.

Why do my references show up as '??' in the output?

This usually occurs if the code chunk is missing a 'fig.cap' argument or if you are using a standard Rmd output format instead of a bookdown-compatible one like 'bookdown::html_document2'.

Can I use markdown formatting inside my figure captions?

Yes, this skill provides a 'Text Reference' pattern where you define a long caption using '(ref:label)' outside the chunk, allowing for bold text, math, and citations.
