Why not using pandoc-crossref?
To cross-reference figures, display equations, tables and sections.
I'm not familiar with pandoc-crossref. Please could you explain a little more about how it will help?
It's a very useful pandoc filter. You can read all the information about it in https://github.com/lierdakil/pandoc-crossref
@sbacelar I had a look at it considering whether I could need it for my thesis, but don't really get the benefits to just referencing via Latex-commands. Am I missing something?

If you're only interested in generating pdf, then no. If you want to generate thesis.html
, none of the \latex you put in the *.md
files will render.
At the moment, I don't think we can reference listings and other stuff like that. So pandoc-crossref may be a good option to look into in future to minimise dependencies. I'll have a look if I get time.
Ah, and, unless I'm missing something, I think we can't refer to sections by number just now, other than using \ref{name-of-header} (which only works when rendering pdf), or using [manually written header name](#name-of-header)
. So this may be the reason to switch to pandoc-crossref

I've fixed the travis build in #100, so this should be easy to test.
