svSweave

{svSweave} provides additional functions to work with Sweave, Knitr and R Markdown, essentially for two uses for now:

It implements a pure R code solution for numbering and cross-referencing figures, tables and equations in R Markdown files with no native support of that feature (thus not bookdown or quarto documents). Indeed, standard Pandoc does not provide this. Only the extensions proposed by {bookdown} or {quarto} allow to do so. Of course, you could also use LaTeX markups for this, but then, you are limited to output in PDF. The functions fig(), tab()and eq() allow to number respectively figures, tables and equations in any R Markdown document and the same function can be used to cross-reference these items in the text. Moreover, new_labelling() creates a new function to enumerate other items if needed.
It provides helper functions to properly use {knitr} with LyX, a document editor targeting LaTeX output, that can also benefit from Sweave or knitr to include chunks in LyX documents directly. These fonctions are deprecated.
