pandoc-plot VS pandoc-crossref

That's great news. I've been waiting for years for a dedicated 'Figure' element. The workaround was pretty brittle. It'll make pandoc-plot [0] easier to maintain as well.

That's the perfect learning project because there's something tangible at the end.

Whenever the question of "How do I learn Haskell" comes up, I always suggest to come up with a project that would be useful on its own, regardless of the technology used to create it, and use Haskell to do it. In my case it was a pandoc filter to embed plots in documents (https://github.com/LaurentRDC/pandoc-plot), which was ultimately useful to create my PhD dissertation.

There's only so much you can learn about Haskell by working through toy examples.

i was going through this link but couldn't find anything for footnotes.

Hi everyone, I've recently been working on my dissertation and found it a bit hard to find any resources on how to reference image and sections in markdown just like in LaTeX. On Discord I didn't seem to get any replies and in the forum I could only find things like using HTML blocks. Well, I've found a way to do this, similar to how citations work using the pandoc-crossref filter (https://github.com/lierdakil/pandoc-crossref). Essentially it works like this:```{#fig:your_fig_name}```And in-text, reference the figure with: @fig:your_fig_name . The same can be done with sections.If anyone needs a step-by-step guide, I've updated my article on using Obsidian for Academic Writing: https://betterhumans.pub/obsidian-tutorial-for-academic-writing-87b038060522
