How do I specify for a figure/table to be unnumbered?

[meryltheng]

Is this possible? I understand I can do it with Section headers with {.unnumbered}. It does not seem to work with figures and tables.

Because of Cross References, figures and tables must be numbered. This is similar to Pandoc's default behaviour:

The minimal working example

$ pandoc --from markdown --to html <<EOF
![Foo](bar.jpg)
EOF

produces

<figure>
<img src="bar.jpg" alt="Foo" />
<figcaption aria-hidden="true">Foo</figcaption>
</figure>

If you want to have unnumbered figures, you should try "regular inline image":

The minimal working example, that includes a nonbreaking space in the form of \ ,

$ pandoc --from markdown --to html <<EOF
![Foo](bar.jpg)\ 
EOF

produces

<p><img src="bar.jpg" alt="Foo" /> </p>

Please give a try.
