Feature Request: Forced numbering to generate caption prefixes for all figures.

[stroobandt]

This is a request to add a fignos-forced configuration setting which would force the numbering of all figures in a document, even when these figures have no ID for cross-referencing.

The forced numbering of all figures in a document independently whether these figures are cross-referenced or not, created the desired effect that all figures will receive a caption beginning with "Figure xx: ".

For (X)HTML, I circumvented this limitation by suppressing the pandoc-fignos numbering and creating my own numbering for all figures using CSS. The respective numbers created by pandoc-fignos and CSS are exactly the same. This might help other people out, whilst waiting for this feature to be implemented.

body {counter-reset: figure;}
p.caption:before {counter-increment: figure;}
p.caption:lang(en):before {content: 'Figure ' counter(figure) ': ';}
p.caption:lang(nl):before {content: 'Figuur ' counter(figure) ': ';}
p.caption span:first-child {display: none;}
