How to force position of plot like latex "figure"

[VolkovIlia]

In latex I can specify position of figure by:

   \begin{figure}[htpb]
    ... figure contents...
    \end{figure}

How to do that in pandoc-plot?

Hi Ilia,

I'm not sure how to do this. pandoc-plot converts a code block to a figure block. In the conversion, some information is lost by pandoc. The precise information which is kept depends on the source format.

Are you converting from latex or to latex?

I don't think this question is directly related to pandoc-plot. I'll close this for now but don't hesitate to re-open if you need more help.

Sorry for waiting.

I use pandoc with pandoc-plot for writing articles. My workflow is markdown --> pdf + docx. But when I trying to add some plot (matplotlib) it appears somewhere in text after but not in direct place where I want. So, my question is how determine place for the plot? Command that I use:

pandoc -F pandoc-plot -F pandoc-crossref  -F pandoc-chem-struct --highlight-style=kate -s -C -o  "$base".pdf "$file" | pandoc -F pandoc-plot -F pandoc-crossref   -F pandoc-chem-struct --highlight-style=kate -s -C -o  "$base".docx "$file" ;;

Structure that I use:

{.python .matplotlib caption="XRD" preamble=include.py #fig:XRD}

No worries.

There's no way to control figure placement with pandoc-plot. Figure placement is based on which input format pandoc understands. For example, if your source document is in Markdown, then there's no way to set figure placement. See for example https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/845.

I hope this helps. Keep an eye on https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/3177. What you're looking for will be implemented in the near future.

Thanks! It working for me!)
