Description

(cc @mine-cetinkaya-rundel)

Something seems to have changed with book chapter cross referencing. See https://r4ds.hadley.nz/whole-game, the references used to say things like "In Chapter 1 ...", now it shows the chapter number and the title. I tried a few variations of cross-referencing but I'm not landing on something that gives "Chapter 1".
