#fig:reference doesn't work if caption isn't provided about mermaid-filter HOT 4 OPEN

Can you share the command you're testing with?

from mermaid-filter.

Sorry for the delay. It's been awhile, so I will try to reproduce tonight or within the next couple days and get back to you.

from mermaid-filter.

I generated using the following command:

pandoc mermaid-filter-test.md -o test.pdf -F mermaid-filter -F pandoc-crossref

This results in a document with the following text:

This test document references fig. 1 and fig. ??.

When given this test document:

This test document references @fig:hello and @fig:goodbye.

```{.mermaid #fig:hello caption="Say Hello"}
sequenceDiagram
    participant A as Alice
    participant B as Bob

    A->>B: Hello
    B->>A: Hello
```

```{.mermaid #fig:goodbye}
sequenceDiagram
    participant A as Alice
    participant B as Bob

    A->>B: Goodbye
    B->>A: Goodbye
```

I'm running into the same issue but am unable to use the workaround. Using the markdown above, it generates fig. ?? when referencing the diagram. I'm using the command below where my file is use-cases.md and is being converted to a PDF:

pandoc -F mermaid-filter -F pandoc-crossref -M link-citations=true --citeproc use-cases.md --pdf-engine=pdflatex -o use-cases.pdf

Note the caption does not render, either.
