Can pandoc support figure reference in org-ref style ? #7133
Comments

Sorry, this is currently out of scope for pandoc. The figure support is part of pandoc-crossref, you could raise the issue there. The problem is well suited for a (Lua) filter: a filter which matches on "ref" Str and Link elements, and converts them to Cite elements, would be only a couple of lines. Please reach out if you need help with this approach. |

To be more precise, this isn't really out of scope, but requires other features first. See also this long-standing issue: #813 |
Do you suggest that "ref:XXX" should be converted to "cite:XXX", which is for citation ? :D Could you help provide the Lua filter if possible ? Many thanks ! |

Yes, that's basically it. We need to make sure that For Str, we'd match on the text content: function Str (s)
if s.text:match 'ref:.*' then
return pandoc.Cite({}, {pandoc.Citation(s.text, "NormalCitation")})
end
endConverting links would be similar, but one would match on Does this help? |
Could you explain your idea more ? The filter that you posted converts a reference to a figure to a citation, which citeproc will not be able to recognize. For example, using the MWE files in the first post |

Please try with this improved filter: function Link (link)
if link.target:match 'fig:.*' then
return pandoc.Cite(
link.content,
{pandoc.Citation(link.target, "NormalCitation")}
)
end
end |
Amazing ! The new filter recognizes the function Str (s)
if s.text:match 'ref:(.*)' then
return pandoc.Cite({}, {pandoc.Citation(s.text:match 'ref:(.*)', "NormalCitation")})
end
end |
Currently pandoc has basic support for the cite:citeKey syntax in .org file, which is the org-ref style of citing citations. It is thus possible for one to be able to use org & org-ref to write and use pandoc to export to multiple formats such as .pdf, .docx, and so forth. However, the syntax to refer to a figure is incompatible between pandoc and org-ref. Specifically, pandoc supports the
[@Fig:XXX]syntax to refer to a figure in .org file, while org-ref uses org-links such asref:XXXto utilize org-machinery. Could you consider make pandoc support theref:XXXsyntax to refer to a figure in .org file, which is the org-ref style of referring to figures ?mwe_name.org
