pandoc-subfigs enables subfigures to be created in pandoc's Markdown.

To run the Lua filter, place the subfigs.lua in a location accessible to pandoc and execute pandoc with the option -L subfigs.lua.

To create subfigures, place the subfigures in a Div of class subfigs. The first paragraph found in the Div is used as the figure's caption. Using the fenced_divs extension (which is enabled by default):

:::subfigs
The figure caption.

![Subfigure 1 caption.](figs/subfig1.png){#subfig1}

![Subfigure 2 caption.](figs/subfig2.jpg){#subfig2}
:::

Alternatively, according to preference, the figure caption may be placed at the bottom of the Div (as long as it is still the first paragraph in the Div).
