Conversion tex to docx - endfloat package?

Conversion tex to docx - endfloat package?

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1110 bytes --]

Hi

I am using pandoc to convert a tex document to docx for my co-authors
(which works very nicely!), and they want to have figures and tables at
the end of the document.

I am using in LaTeX the package endfloat for this. Using pdflatex, this
works perfectly to generate the pdf, but when I use pandoc to convert
the tex to a docx, the package "endfloat" is ignored and all floats are
where they would be without "endfloat".

Is there a way to force all floats (figures and tables) to the end of
the document in pandoc?

Thanks,

Rainer

You could write a filter which moves them there:
*   traverse the AST looking for figures and tables.
*   append each one found to a global list variable.
*   Remove the found float or replace it with something which 
produces no output, in the place where it used to be.
*   After traversal append the list with the floats at the end of 
the document data list.

I should have mentioned before that pandoc doesn't compile the 
LaTeX, it just parses the LaTeX markup into an AST, discarding 
anything it cannot represent, and builds a document in another 
format from the AST.

However pandoc lets you run filters on the AST after having read 
the original document and before constructing the new document,
and it is (was) fairly simple towrite a filter which collects all 
figures and tables at a designated place in the document.

You can read about using filters here:

<https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/README#L400>

You can find such a filter as I described before here:

<https://gist.github.com/bpj/f591a9e29fe974fa791f>

There are both a perl and a python version.
Make sure to read the description!

EDIT: it occurs to me that you sprobably want to put all tables 
together in one place and all figures together in another place.
Reply to this mail if that is the case!

Yes - I was aware if this, and I have other issues because of this as
well (siunitx package).

Thanks - useful resource.

Yes - this is exactly what I want to do. I want to collect all table and
figure floats at the end, ideally one section with the header "Figures" with
the figures, a scond header with the name "Tables" with the table floats.

I tried your filters in a make file as follow:

,----
| sed -e 's/pdf/png/g' ASMOptim.tex > ASMOptim.pandoc.tex
| pandoc --bibliography=ASMOptim.bib --filter pandoc-collect-floats.pl --filter pandoc-citeproc  ASMOptim.pandoc.tex -o ASMOptim_0.1.4+.docx
| pandoc: Error running filter pandoc-collect-floats.pl
| fd:4: hClose: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
`----

but as you can see, the filter pandoc-collect-floats.pl raises an error.

Any ideas what is causing this?

Thanks a lot,

Rainer

BP Jonsson wrote a brilliant filter for this which can be found at

https://gist.github.com/bpj/f591a9e29fe974fa791f#file-pandoc-collect-floats-py

which works very nicely.

Thanks BP,

Rainer

The only way I can think of would be to write a filter that
moves all the tables and figures to the end of the document.
Note: the following is untested, but something like this
should work:

-- floatsToEnd.hs
import Text.Pandoc.JSON
import Text.Pandoc.Walk

main :: IO ()
main = toJSONFilter floatsToEnd

floatsToEnd :: Pandoc -> Pandoc
floatsToEnd (Pandoc meta bs) =
  Pandoc meta $ walk (remove isFloat) bs ++ query isFloat bs

isFloat :: Block -> Bool
isFloat (Table{}) = True
isFloat (Para [Image{}]) = True
isFloat _ = False

remove :: (Block -> Bool) -> Block -> Block
remove pred b | pred b    = Null
              | otherwise = b

This BP Jonsson  filter  apparently doesn't work with any recent pandoc.  I 
am trying to convert latex to odt, moving floats (which aren't rendered 
well at all) to the end.  Is anyone doing this successfully?
