Change figure and table captions in blogdown

问题:

I'm tinkering with blogdown and would like to create figures and table with non-English caption headers. The following chunk

```{r label1, echo=FALSE, fig.cap="Fancy caption", fig.fullwidth=TRUE}
plot(1,1)
```

produces the plot and a caption that reads

Figure 1: Fancy caption

I'd like to be able to change the label such that, say, "Figure" becomes "Plot". I thought I could fix it in the same way as for bookdown: In the _bookdown.yml file I could have

language:
  ui:
    chapter_name: "Chap "
    appendix_name: "App " 
  label:
    fig: 'Plot '
    tab: 'Fancy table '

but I'm not sure how to do something similar with a Hugo-based setup from blogdown. How can I add the above information to, say, the config.toml file or set it somewhere else?

回答1:

First, store the _bookdown.yml file you described in the same folder as the blog post source .Rmd file, e.g. content/post/_bookdown.yml if your file is at content/post/my_post.Rmd.

Then, add _bookdown.yml to the list of ignoreFiles in your config.toml so that Hugo doesn't move _bookdown.yml to the public directory.

This works because blogdown::html_page() is based on bookdown::html_document2(), which will pick up the _bookdown.yml in the same directory of the source Rmd. I don't think it's possible to set this globally from your blogdown root dir, but if you store all your posts in content/post it's basically the same thing.
