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
