By default, the {bookdown} package formats figure and table captions as, for example:
Figure 2.1: Here is a nice figure!
Is there a way to remove the : following Figure 2.1 or to change it to any arbitrary character (e.g., .):
Figure 2.1. Here is a nice figure!
I can change the Figure label to any arbitrary text as described here; however, I have not been able to find documentation for customizing the separator between the figure number and caption.
From the source code here, I fear that the colon is hard-coded in. Any suggestions or resources are greatly appreciated!
