Including the word "figure" or "table" in the lists of figures/tables

[mhoban]

This filter has been a godsend, but I have one question about the lists of figures, tables, etc. The generated lists just include the numbers, so it it looks like:

List of Figures

1 A figure

1.1 First figure

1.2 Second figure ...

Is it possible to have the lists include the name of the thing (i.e., "Figure" or "Table")? To look like this:

List of Figures

Figure 1 A figure

Figure 1.1 First figure

FIgure 1.2 Second figure ...

I should say that this stuff is ultimately ending up in docx format, so this question may be specific to the docx writer, over which I know there isn't a ton of control.

It's not currently possible. There isn't a reason why this wouldn't be possible in principle, although it wouldn't be a list in docx due to pandoc limitations, just plaintext. I'll see what I can do.

Eventually (hopefully) this run will finish (likely in about 1.5 - 2 hours) and it will produce some binaries which have some new metadata variables. Particularly, try setting lofItemTitle: "Figure " and see if it works for you. Docs I'll add later, really can't spend any more time on this today.

Thanks, this is great!

This is done through the same templating approach that's used in other places in pandoc-crossref. See https://github.com/lierdakil/pandoc-crossref/blob/master/test/m2m/listOfTemplates/input.md?plain=1 for an example. Dump default values via pandoc -t markdown -F pandoc-crossref -s <<< "". I'll try to write the docs and make a release proper this weekend (hopefully).

v0.3.14.0 which include this is released.
