The pandoc-xnos filter suite provides facilities for cross-referencing in markdown documents processed by pandoc. Individual filters are maintained in separate projects. They are:

• pandoc-fignos: Numbers figures and figure references.
• pandoc-eqnos: Numbers equations and equation references.
• pandoc-tablenos: Numbers tables and table references.
• pandoc-secnos: Numbers section references (sections are numbered by pandoc itself).

Click on the above links to access documentation for each filter. LaTeX/pdf, html, and epub output have native support. Native support for docx output is a work in progress.

This project provides library code for the suite and a pandoc-xnos filter that applies all of the above filters in sequence.

Pip is a program that downloads and installs software from the Python Package Index, PyPI.

Instructions for installing from source are given in DEVELOPERS.md.

The pandoc-xnos filter suite may be applied using the
