Hi Alex,

Thanks.

This is working for me with one problem. I have a figure (or it could be a listing or table for that matter) in Chapter 2. It is correctly numbered as Figure 2.10 in that chapter, but when I try to reference it from Chapter 1 using <<chap2.adoc#the-figure>> the reference appears as Figure 1.10. So it does not insert the correct chapter number.

I have following preamble in the chapters

:xrefstyle: short
:listing-number: 0
:figure: 0
:figure-caption: Figure {chapter}.
:listing-caption: Listing {chapter}.
:table-caption: Table {chapter}.

the :listing-number: 0 is resetting listing counter to 0. Similarly :figure:0 resets the figure counter to 0.

and for chapter 1 I have

:chapter: 1

and for chapter 2 I have

:chapter: 2

in the preamble.

I suspect the bug has to do with the figure-caption I have inserted in the preamble.

How do I tell it to use the chapter number of the chapter that is being referenced instead of the chapter itself?
