Consistent numbering of figures and tables across output formats

[sjackman]

I'm rendering a Markdown document to HTML, PDF and DOCX. The tables and figures of the PDF are automatically numbered, but in HTML and DOCX they are not. Either is fine with me, but I would like for it to be consistent across output formats. So, how do I either

1. disable automatic numbering of figures and tables for PDF, or
2. enable automatic numbering of figures and tables for HTML and DOCX

The tables and figures of the PDF are automatically numbered,

This is done by LaTeX. If you don't want the numbers you can run

$ sed -i 's/caption/caption*/' name-of your-file.tex

before compile from LaTeX to PDF.

but in HTML and DOCX they are not.

For HTML you can use a filter to add the numbers so that it is part of the text. You can also use CSS to add the number.

I don't know very much of DOCX but I believe that the filter will work.

\caption*{ works. Note that it requires \usepackage{caption}.

For DOCX you should just have to apply the correct number formatting to the figure label style.

I agree with @mb21 that this should be closed.

This issue is probably a subset of #813
