I have some documents on Sphinx 2.x. In addition to an HTML version (make html), I want to export it in a PDF version as well, preferably using rst2pdf:
My documents have some figure images. Here's a snippet in index.rst.
.. figure:: ./_images/img01.png
Caption for img01.
.. figure:: ./_images/img02.png
Caption for img02.
I want to add "Figure <#>" in the beginning of every caption. Does anyone have any thoughts? Please note
- numfig doesn't work with rst2pdf.
Update (3/22/2020). Add the following lines in conf.py.
numfig = True
numfig_format = {
'figure': 'Figure %s.'
}
numfig_secnum_depth = 1
In the HTML output it works.
In the rst2PDF version, you don't see "Figure #".
- The :counter: directive doesn't work with Sphinx; I get the following error:
.. figure:: ./_images/img01.png
Figure :counter:`figure`. Caption for img01.
$ sphinx-build -b pdf ./source/ ./build/
