(ref:foo) doesn't work for theorem environment in name field when knit as pdf

[ssp3nc3r]

The advice in bookdown for formatting long figure captions and other text is to create a reference,

(ref:foo) Title with _formatting_.

With a blank line above and below, and then referring to this in the figure caption.

I'm not getting this to work for theorem environments like example, however, when knitting to pdf.

Coding something like,

# Test

(ref:foo) This is a test.

``{exercise revision1, echo = T, name="(ref:foo)"} Some exercise description.

``

When knitted as a pdf:

bookdown::render_book("test.rmd", bookdown::tufte_book2())

Results in,

Exercise 1.1 ((ref:foo)). Some exercise description.

I have cross-posted on Stack overflow:
