figureTitle doesn't work with PDF output about pandoc-crossref HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi.

Sorry, this is not implemented as of yet, but LaTeX titles are customisable via pure latex, which can be embedded into source Markdown (and will be ignored in all outputs except LaTeX/PDF), f.ex. with default template, this will work (add this at the beginning of your Markdown document, after metadata block, and before any figures):

\renewcommand{\figurename}{Fig.}

I hope this workaround isn't too inconvenient for you.

Main problem with LaTeX is that there is a multitude of ways to specify figure titles, depending on packages used, etc, so there really is no silver bullet. That's why it's not implemented -- I haven't figured out yet how should I go about this to make it work for as many cases as possible.

I suggest leaving this issue open as a reminder and for posterity.

Wow! Worked like a charm!
Thanks again!

(Didn't know Pandoc ignored pure Latex in the other outputs, and was to lazzy
to create my own template)

I have implemented rudimentary support for figureTitle and tableTitle with \renewcommand*. It works only for pdf/standalone output though, but I assume that's not a huge problem. Will probably publish to hackage before end of May.
