Figure or Tables in form of table of contents

Figure or Tables in form of table of contents

[Count of San Francisco]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 656 bytes --]



How can I generate a table of content for figures (a.k.a images) and a 
table of content for tables when converting from MD to HTML and PDF? If 
this is not possible in pandoc, today, can you please make this an 
enhancement request to Pandoc?

For PDF (via latex) you can set the `lof` and `lot` variables to
true, e.g. with -Vlot -Vlof on the command line.

You can also use raw tex \listoffigures, \listoftables.

For HTML there isn't a way.  At this point we don't even
automatically number figures/tables.  It could be achieved
using a filter but I'm not aware of one that exists now.
(Looks like pandoc-crossref handles numbering and references,
but doesn't do a general lof or lot.)

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!!

Perhaps a filter which runs after pandoc-crossrefs and relies on the stuff
which pandoc-crossrefs inserts would be reasonably feasible. Unfortunately
I can't look into that at the moment but maybe someone else can.

I checked and pandoc-crossref inserts a list of figures/tables/listings in
all formats at the point where you put a paragraph containing only
`\listoffigures`, `\listoftables` or `\listoflistings`.  See <
https://lierdakil.github.io/pandoc-crossref/#lists> and <
https://lierdakil.github.io/pandoc-crossref/#list-titles>.

However it seems like items in these lists are not linked to the respective
figures etc. but in HTML you certainly want them to be linked! I've started
to write a filter to take care of that.  Hopefully it will be finished
later today or tomorrow.
