Figure reference not processed in manuscript notebook using fenced div

[andjar]

Bug description

I was trying to make subfigures in a notebook to be embedded in my main article, preferably as supplemental figures. However, I was unable to get the figure references in the notebook to render properly when rendering the project from the command line.

Possibly related to #8956?

Steps to reproduce

Create an empty main document/article and a notebook containing:

---
title: Test notebook
---

## Section

::: {#fig-example}

```{r}
plot(1)
```

Caption
:::

@fig-example is an example.

Then run quarto render from the command line to generate an html file.

Expected behavior

I expect the figure reference to render as: Figure 1 is an example.

Actual behavior

The figure reference is rendered as: @fig-example is an example.

I can't repro:

[andjar]

I have uploaded the raw and rendered files to a github repo for reproduction: https://github.com/andjar/quarto-bug-figure-ref

To preview the rendered html notebook page: https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://github.com/andjar/quarto-bug-figure-ref/blob/main/_manuscript/test-preview.html

Sorry, that's still not enough. What about quarto render index.qmd is failing? That's what I ran and that's the result I got. Can you provide more details?

[andjar]

So, the error is only present in the extra notebooks, not the main manuscript. If the code in the original post is put into the main manuscript file index.qmd, it renders correctly to Figure 1 is an example.

For the notebook test.qmd, the reference is rendered as @fig-example is an example. This happens with both quarto render and quarto render test.qmd. The commands run fine without warnings or error messages:

> quarto render test.qmd

processing file: test.qmd
1/3
2/3 [unnamed-chunk-1]
3/3
output file: test.knit.md

Rendering qmd embeds [test.qmd]
Rendering output notebook [test.qmd]
Rendering HTML preview [test.qmd]
Output created: _manuscript\test-preview.html

Ok, that clarifies things. Thanks!

[andjar]

Thanks for your patience and for looking into this!

Just to set expectations: we won't have time to look into this in the near future, but we have a backlog of manuscript issues that we will take on all at once, hopefully in 1.7 or 1.8.
