place pandoc crossref attributes in new line
fcskit opened this issue · 1 comments
This is not a major issue but it would be nice if a single line break would be supported between a markdown heading or figure and a pandoc crossref attribute in curly brackets.
Currently I'm receiving an error if I place a section {#sec:seclabel} or figure attribute {#fig:label} in a new line directly after a heading or figure.
So this works:
# Heading {#sec:seclabel}
![image caption](link_to_image.png){#fig:figlabel}
but this won't
# Heading
{#sec:seclabel}
![image caption](link_to_image.png)
{#fig:figlabel}
Personally the latter is more readable to me. In particular since some markdown editors support some kind of live preview and having a heading rendered in bold letters and large font size including a {#sec:seclabel} attribute just doesn't look very nice.
Pandoc can't parse this, so nothing I could do on pandoc-crossref side. Feel free to take this upstream
But there are issues with the proposed syntax, e.g.
# ![image caption](link_to_image.png)
{#somelabel}
what's this? There's ambiguity.
With the current setup, image attributes require no whitespace between the image and {
, so this is not ambiguous:
# ![image caption](link_to_image.png) {#somelabel}
