Hi jgran,
I'm using Pandoc 2.18 for Windows for docx-to-html5 conversions while I do 
the docx-to-PDF conversions directly by other means (Acrobat, Word Save as 
PDF). I have no problems with the html5 conversions and the 
--number-section option except that unnumbered section headers in Word get 
numbered too. I solved this by creating a different Word paragraph style 
"Headline" without numbering and applying the +styles extension, i.e. -f 
docx+styles, and added a "div[data-custom-style="Headline"] p" entry to the 
css file for selecting and formatting that paragraph style upon html5 
rendering.

However, I have not been able to get figure, table, and equation numbering 
consistently rendered in html5. I want to include chapter and section 
numbers in front of those numbers so I'm using fields like "{ STYLEREF 2 \s 
}.{ SEQ Equation \* ARABIC \s 2 }". I also tried Word's "Insert caption" 
command but that didn't work either. Typically, the html shows"1.." instead 
of "1.1.1", i.e. only the chapter number is included.

Best regards,
