cross-reference prefix

Question

How to change cross-reference language in Quarto?

Take the example in docs:

![Elephant](elephant.png){#fig-elephant}

See @fig-elephant for an illustration.

In the .tex file it is shown as (Figure~\ref{fig-elephant}). Rendering, result is something like see Figure 1 for an illustration.

How can I change Figure for any other word?

Answer 1

You can use fig-prefix option to change the inline reference prefix and also fig-title option to change the figure caption accordingly. See here in Quarto Documentation to know more options to change the reference style.
