xnos-number-by-section=False is broken for (X)HTML

[stroobandt]

The --metadata customisation xnos-number-by-section=False

-M xnos-number-by-section=False

is broken for (X)HTML. Numbering restarts with each section. This has been reported:

• for fignos-number-by-section here,
• for tablenos-number-by-section here, and
• I have personally also experienced this bug for eqnos-number-by-section.

However, there is a pull request and a patch solving this issue waiting to be merged:

• for tablenos-number-by-section here, and
• for fignos-number-by-section here.

There is also a very cumbersome workaround that works for all xnos items when converting to (X)HTML.

Automatic numbering is an absolute key feature of the pandoc-xnos suite, but also a "deal-breaker" when not available. An expedient resolution of this bug is highly desirable.

Thank you for this summary, which was helpful. Sorry for the long wait.

The problems are now fixed in the nextrelease branch of each filter. If problems persist beyond the next release, please feel welcome to re-open this Issue.

Many thanks, Tom. This now works flawlessly in pandoc-xnos 2.4.3.
