Description
I have:

- formatted my issue following the Bug Reports guide
Bug description
It seems that using Div Syntax around equations breaks the cross-reference.
Steps to reproduce
---
format: html
---
Cross-reference for @eq-float works but not for @eq-div.
$$
E=mc^2
$${#eq-float}
::: {#eq-div}
$$
E=mc^2
$$
:::
Actual behavior
The document renders with a warning: WARNING ([path]/Quarto/share/filters/main.lua:14000) Unable to resolve crossref @eq-div
Expected behavior
I expected the cross-reference to render just like the one specified using the float syntax.
