Labels in figures missing in Latex output

[GordianDziwis]

As said, the labels get stripped and it is not possible to reference a figure. See the output PDF.

Also seeing this. Any idea on how to fix it?

[tompollard]

@BonarBeavis @jeiros I see it, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet - sorry. I wondered whether it had anything to do with the most recently merged pull request #47

[tompollard]

If you have time, please could you post a snippet of the expected output vs current output?

[jeiros]

This is the problem:

Don't really know how to fix this, as I just discovered pandoc yesterday and I am exploring it to write my PhD thesis in the future. Thanks for putting this repo up, before finding it I couldn't really get much to work 😄

[tompollard]

Could you try git checkout 52483eddcffb63fee479c5b34e43ed80382e1254 to roll back to the previous commit and see if this fixes the problem? If so, I'll rollback the most recent change.

[tompollard]

Doesn't seem to fix it. I'll take a look into this later today!

[tompollard]

Yep, it seems to be a problem with the pandoc-shortcaption updates. I'll revert these shortly, until we work out what's going on.

[tompollard]

I have reverted @martisak's pandoc-shortcaption update (#47), which fixes this issue but unfortunately means that we'll need to manually generate the list of figures page again for now.

[GordianDziwis]

With the following syntax the shortcaptions and references work:

![Long caption with LaTeX](img.png "alt image caption"){#fig:mylabel}

Thanks for the pdf fix. However, it does not work for the html output yet: https://github.com/tompollard/phd_thesis_markdown/blob/master/output/thesis.html#L328

[jeiros]

@BonarBeavis with @tompollard reverting the pandoc-shortcaption update your suggested syntax is still printing out the full label in the Table of Figures for me if I use \listoftables.

Also, to reference the figure in the text with your syntax, should \ref{mylabel} be used? If so, I am back to getting Figure ?? in the pdf output.

[jeiros]

Nevermind, it's \ref{fig:mylabel}. Still seeing the long captions in the List of Figures though.

[GordianDziwis]

@jeiros the mentioned syntax works with the update.
