Re: missing figures in latex/pdf output

[Martin Hepp <mfhepp-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>]

In general, if you aim at multiple output formats, it’s best to use Markdown syntax / elements for the authoritative master document, and delegate required modifications to format-specific Pandoc filters (or writers, but less common).

There are quite some filters out there that try to translate HTML elements to TeX syntax (e.g. text color) and other formats, but this is typically second-best, in particular more difficult to implement in a robust way.

Except for tables, Markdown in the Pandoc flavor, is likely the best compromise for a output-format-agnostic representation of documents, in particular thanks to fenced divs support.

Best wishes
Martin
