Table referencing doesn't work when put under latex table

[amichuda]

Hi,

Is there some way to get the filter to work when you put the Table identifier under a latex table?

Right now, it doesn't seem to recognize it and only works for markdown tables.

If this isn't, in fact, a bug, are there plans to incorporate that into pandoc-tablenos?

Thanks for your feedback, @lordflaron. Could you please provide me an example of what you are trying to do? --Tom

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

Here's some test code:

---
title: test
output: pdf_document
---

Table: Test Table {#tbl:id}

\begin{tabular}{l|l|l}
a1 & a2 & a3 \\
\hline
2 & 3 & 4 
\end{tabular}

Table: Test Markdown Table {#tbl:idm}

|a1 | a2 | a3 |
|---|----|----|
|2  | 3  | 4  |

This is the latex table: @tbl:id

This is the Markdown table: @tbl:idm

The output is:

Am I doing something wrong or was pandoc-tablenos not for this?

I just released pandoc-tablenos 2.0.0 with an update to address your issue.

You are using a LaTeX table with a markdown caption and label. Pandoc doesn't support that. Here is how to code the caption and label in LaTeX:

\begin{table}
  \begin{center}
    \begin{tabular}{l|l|l}
      a1 & a2 & a3 \\
      \hline
      2 & 3 & 4
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Test Table}\label{tbl:id}
  \end{center}
\end{table}

Reference to @tbl:id.

Processing this with pandoc + pandoc-tablenos 2.0.0 gives the desired result. Pandoc-tablenos will complain (pandoc-tablenos: Bad reference: @tbl:id), but don't worry about that. The warning is given simply because it can't find the table you are referring to given that you coded it up in LaTeX. Pandoc-tablenos charges ahead anyway, and lets LaTeX sort it out.

I hope this helps. ☺︎

Cheers, Tom

Thank you so much!

Hi, I followed the aforementioned method and tried the following in file.tex:

\documentclass[10pt,twoside]{book}
\begin{document}
  \chapter{my chapter 1}
    \begin{table}
      \begin{tabular}{cc}
        1&2\\
        3&4\\
      \end{tabular}
      \caption{This is table one.}
      \label{tbl:xx}
    \end{table}
  Please see Table @tbl:xx \ref{tbl:xx}
\end{document}

And issued the command

pandoc --filter pandoc-xnos -N file.tex -t html -M xnos-number-by-section=True

but the last line of output is

<p>Please see Table @tbl:xx <a href="#tbl:xx" data-reference-type="ref" data-reference="tbl:xx">[tbl:xx]</a></p>

(desired value should be 1). How should I do? Thanks.

Thanks for your note. Pandoc-tablenos is only for converting markdown to other formats. You're trying to convert a tex file to a different format, which isn't something the filter can help with.

In @lordflaron's example he embeds TeX in a markdown document. This might sound like a minor difference, but pandoc treats the two file types differently.
