Latex to HTML: figure environment ignored if not used with images

Latex to HTML: figure environment ignored if not used with images

Hi all,

I am trying to compile the following latex pattern to HTML using pandoc. 
This is a figure environment that does not contain any graphics inside, but 
only text (or typically, it contains maths in an align environment):

\begin{figure}[h]
\caption{Figure caption} 
\label{fig:figure} 
foo 
\end{figure}

However, the output from pandoc is the following (taken from 
pandoc.org/try):

<p>foo</p>

While I would expect it to be:

<div id="fig:figure"><figure><caption>Figure 
caption</caption><p>foo</p></figure></div>

The same happens with a table environment that contains no tabular 
environment inside.
What would be the most effective way to achieve this? I have a long 
document full of this pattern, and if an automated way of doing this would 
not be possible, I would rather change the tex file than fiddle with the 
html output (especially given that the caption information is not 
preserved).

Thanks in advance,
Quentin

Pandoc doesn't currently have a generic figure element that
can hold non-image content.  There are some issues on the
tracker requesting such a thing, and it will happen eventually.

You're probably right that in the short term parsing this
in a Div would make sense.  You can requset that on the
tracker.
