Figures and Tables in your Crossref examplae about scrivomatic HOT 8 OPEN

Hi Andreas,

I have made some small tweaks to the Crossref project, and updated the repo with a newer zip file. but I don't think this will change your observed behaviour.

1. Scrivener generates image syntax using the reference link syntax. This uses ![caption][ref link] to define the figure. This is valid pandoc markdown (and is also part of the original markdown spec, and commonmark too), so I'm somewhat confused why Typora doesn't support this? I've never used it (I use VSCode to edit markdown if I need to), so I don't know what flavour of markdown it supports…
2. pandoc-crossref doesn't generate native figure numbers, I made an issue on this but the developer does not want to add output-specific code: lierdakil/pandoc-crossref#299 - another crossref plugin has a similar request and a bit more progress: tomduck/pandoc-fignos#34 — one thing to look out for is that Quarto https://quarto.org has built a new cross referencing filter for pandoc which may or may not generate native figure numbering on Word… Note if you use LaTeX then lists of figures etc. works fine.
3. No, this warning is simply related to the fact the docx template file uses a field to put the current title in the footer. Word fields can be abused so Word asks you explicitly.

Hi Ian,

After a while I'm back to writing. Thanks al lot for you answers and infos. I solved the issue with the figures and understood what my wrong thought was.

If I have more time I will have a look to quarto. In the mean time i use a PDF to Word converter. With a few manual corrections, the word doc is O.K.

@gitopandi — By the way, I just checked Quarto does not [yet] support native Figure labels for DOCX. BUT I noticed at least in the most recent Word you can build the list-of-figures (LOF) based on styles and each figure caption has the style "Image Caption" so you can the LOF.

I am very surprised a PDF > DOCX converter produces better output than Pandoc?

@iandol Could you provide the openxml lines to create the LOF based on style?
Is the magic in here: <w:instrText xml:space=\"preserve\"> TOC \h \z \u </w:instrText>?

OK, found it: TOC \h \z \t "Image Caption" \c would provide everything of style "Image Caption". Thanks for mentioning this possibility!

@iusgit -- great, for tables I would assume it would be TOC \h \z \t "Table Caption" \c. I'd made a test docx but it seems you got there first.

I assume that a Lua filter could insert this into the DOCX to allow lof to work with DOCX while we wait for Quarto, pandoc-crossref and others to update to utilise native numbering...

from scrivomatic.

Correct, tables work as you say.

It was as you think. Pandoc was the best option 😄
