Hi,

Since MD to HTML and PDF are my main use cases, perhaps, we can concoct
something like for every <a> or <p> with and id attribute that starts
with "figure-caption-" or "table-caption-" be used by pandoc to create
the list of figures or list of tables. The user, if they chose, can
embed an "<a>" or "<p>" tag in their MD.

For PDF, latex really doesn't cut it for me as it doesn't handle CSS
well (or maybe at all) and doesn't handle tables very well when it is
being converted from MD.

This would be a nice improvement for Pandoc.

Thanks!!
