I have an image meant to be fit exactly one page (or should I say screenful) that I would like the e-reading application to resize automatically to the size of the e-reader's screen while preserving aspect ration as is already done with the cover image.
The image can be a png, jpeg, or svg (the png and jpeg are generated from the svg, itself created initially under latex as a pdf and converted to svg via inkscape).
The svg file displays correctly under firefox and can be resized with no visible loss of crispness & resolution.
Is there any way to do this currently in pandoc?
Thanks,

I thought I'd experiment a little and use some "raw latex":
| # Planche 7
| <div id="cover-image">
| <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" version="1.1" width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 900 1200" preserveAspectRatio="none">
| <image width="900" height="1200" xlink:href="images/planches/pl7.jpg" />
| </svg>
| </div>
This html snippet below the #h1 markdown title works as expected when I manaually create the epub: the pl7.jpg image is automatically sized to the full size of a 4:3 screen (by most ereader software).
But when I run a "pandoc md/snippet.md -o snippet.epub" command or such the ensuing epubcheck complains about not finding pl7.jpg in the epub. A quick look inside the epub reveals that the jpeg image is not referenced in the EPUB/content.opf (the "manifest", I believe they call it...) and that pandoc did not
In effect it looks as if pandoc silently ignores the contents of the <image ... /> tag.
Is this the expected behaviour?
If so what would be the recommended workaround¹?
Thanks,
