Figure captions created by Bookdown aren't recognized by Word's "Insert List of Figures" function

[dallinstokes]

Hello! While using bookdown, if I add a figure caption using the fig.cap function of the RMarkdown chunk and render it, then try to insert a list of figures in the Word document, Word fails to find any figures. Clearly the bookdown-created captions aren't being recognized as captions by Word. I've also tried including the \listoffigures LaTeX command in the document to insert the list of figures, but to no avail.

It seems list of figures is now supported since Pandoc 3.5

So maybe there are some ways to make use of that... 🤔

I don't know if this is independent or not for the docx's own feature for the list of figures. You're right that currently it is not recognized because the output for the caption is not using Docx own caption.
