history

Project history and usage

pandoc-crossref is a Haskell filter that adds numbering and cross-references for structured elements in Pandoc documents.

Project history

pandoc-crossref was developed as a Haskell Pandoc filter inspired by the pandoc-fignos and pandoc-eqnos filters. It expanded the same general approach into a unified cross-reference system for multiple document element types.

The project evolved to cover HTML, LaTeX, PDF, Markdown, and other Pandoc outputs, with format-sensitive behavior such as delegating labels and references to LaTeX where possible.

Adoption history

The official repository documents prebuilt executables for Windows, macOS, and Linux, installation from Hackage or source, and availability through Arch, Nix, Homebrew/Linuxbrew, FreeBSD, Gentoo, and Scoop.

Its release binaries are tied closely to Pandoc versions, so package maintainers commonly update or rebuild pandoc-crossref alongside Pandoc API changes.

How it is used

Users run Pandoc with --filter pandoc-crossref or -F pandoc-crossref, label document objects with prefixes such as fig:, eq:, tbl:, sec:, and lst:, and refer to them using Pandoc citation-like syntax.

Configuration can be placed in document metadata, supplied through crossrefYaml, stored as pandoc-crossref.yaml in the working directory, or kept in per-user general and output-format-specific configuration files.

Why package nerds care

pandoc-crossref fills a frequently requested gap in reproducible scholarly and technical publishing: stable numbering and references for figures, equations, tables, sections, subfigures, and code listings across Pandoc output formats.

Package maintainers care about its unusually tight compatibility relationship with Pandoc. Users must select a build produced for their Pandoc version, making coordinated upgrades more important than for a typical standalone filter.

Timeline

Early design: The project drew inspiration from pandoc-fignos and pandoc-eqnos.
Current distribution: Official prebuilt releases target Windows, macOS, and Linux and must match the user's Pandoc version.
Current configuration: Settings may come from document metadata, a selected YAML file, the working directory, or per-user format-specific and general configuration files.

Related projects

Pandoc supplies the document conversion pipeline and abstract syntax tree. pandoc-fignos and pandoc-eqnos are named by the maintainer as inspirations. LaTeX packages such as cleveref and listings can be integrated for relevant outputs.
