I am writing an article for a journal that requires Supplementary Material. I was hoping to use a unique label such as SuppMat: instead of the default fig: to send Figures and Tables into this section. If not, I can use the default fig label but I need numbering to restart in the Supplementary Material section of the document.
I am aware of one answer using latex (found here) but I must complete this when exporting to docx. Below is a reproducible example using officedown
---
output:
officedown::rdocx_document
---
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
pacman::p_load(knitr, officedown, officer)
knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = FALSE,
eval = TRUE,
fig.cap = TRUE)
```
# Main Text
Please see Supplementary Figure \@ref(fig:appendix-fig1) and Figure \@ref(fig:main-fig1).
```{r fig.id="main-fig1", fig.cap="This should be labelled **Figure 1**"}
barplot(1:5, col=1:5)
```
```{r tab.id="main-tab1", tab.cap="Main Text Table 1"}
head(mtcars)
```
\newpage
# Supplementary Materials {#SuppMat}
```{r fig.id="appendix-fig1", fig.cap="This figure should be labelled **Supplementary Figure 1**"}
barplot(1:5, col=1:5)
```
```{r tab.id="appendix-tab1", tab.cap="Should be labelled **Supplementary Table 1**"}
head(mtcars)
```
After searching multiple forums and hours, I was able to come up with a solution using the officedown package. Hopefully this helps someone else out. For further details check out the run_autonum function.

ft_base <- fp_text(font.family = "Cambria", font.size = 12, bold = TRUE)
ft1 <- update(ft_base, shading.color='#EFEFEF', color = "red")
ft2 <- update(ft_base, color = "#C32900")
srcfile <- file.path( R.home("doc"), "html", "logo.jpg" )
extimg <- external_img(src = srcfile, height = 1.06/5, width = 1.39/5)

## References
This is a reference to an supplementary image caption whose number is Supplementary Figure \@ref(fig:faithfuld-plot) and \@ref(fig:supp-bar).
Testing another figure with a barplot in Figure \@ref(fig:plotbar)
```{r fig.id="plotbar", fig.cap = "Main Figure"}
barplot(1:8, col=1:2)
```
## Supplementary Material
```{r fig.id="faithfuld-plot"}
knitr::include_graphics("images/MyImage.png") # Use your own figure here (I needed to test with knitr for my workflow)
block_caption("First Appendix Figure",
style = "Figure",
autonum = run_autonum(seq_id = 'fig',
bkm = 'faithfuld-plot',
pre_label = "Supplemental Figure ",
start_at=1))
```
```{r fig.id="supp-bar"}
barplot(1:8, col=1:2)
block_caption("Second Appendix Figure",
style = "Figure",
autonum = run_autonum(seq_id = 'fig',
bkm = 'supp-bar',
pre_label = "Supplemental Figure ",
start_at= NULL))
