Automatic numbering of figures and tables in HTML output

[nichtich]

Pandoc supports numbering of section headings in LaTeX and HTML output with option -N, --number-sections. Figures and tables are only numbered in LaTeX (because this is default in LaTeX). There should be options to add automatic numbering of figures and tables (--number-tables/--number-figures?) also in HTML output like this:

<span class="figurename">Fig. 1</span> Caption
<span class="tablename">Table 1</span> Caption

The prefix could be modified by a template variable that also works in LaTeX:

\renewcommand{\figurename}{$figurename$}
\renewcommand{\tablename}{$tablename$}

A dot or colon can be added after the figurename/tablename with CSS, so no addition template magic is needed, for instance:

.figurename:after { content: ":"; }

By the way this was already asked in this thread

Hey, have you been able to get a solution to this issue?

[nichtich]

No, I think this would require to modify Pandoc - I have not digged into Haskell yet.

Automatic numbering of figures is already possible with the implicit_figures extension: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-implicit_figures

Implicit figures doesn't give you figure numbering in HTML. (You do get it in LaTeX/PDF output, though.) Alex Băluț <notifications@github.com> writes:

Closing in favour of #813

In the meantime, you can do this with a filter or possibly CSS counters.
