Image captions are not getting generated with `asciidoctor-latex`

[mrshu]

Hi everyone,

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but the following example, taken directly from the repository (https://github.com/asciidoctor/asciidoctor-latex/blob/652176e5f94ad7972a0d0bb4cc6721ce7a35fe93/test/examples/adoc/image.adoc) does not seem to work.

If I pass the following through asciidoctor-latex

//.image
.Graph
image::sunset.jpg[width=200]

I get the following output:

As we can see, the \caption is notably empty. Am I doing something wrong?

I'd very much appreciate your response as this is kind of a deal breaker for my use of asciidoc-latex.

Thanks!

Hi mrshu,

just found the issue in a ruby file! change line 668 of node_processors.rb from: caption = "\\caption\{#{self.attributes['title']}\}" to: caption = "\\caption\{#{self.title}\}"

file is inside ruby gem of asciidoctor: Ruby26-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.6.0/gems/asciidoctor-latex-1.5.0.17.dev/lib/asciidoctor/latex

[mrshu]

Thanks @eduJusGru -- do you think it would be worth creating a Pull Request for this so that it gets fixed?

[eduJusGru]

hmm the last pull request was accepted in 2017 so I don't know if it's worth it but you can try if you want to

We're looking for someone to come forward to maintain this project. I certainly won't stand in the way of the project moving forward, but it is not something I have time to help with. I'll take care of the administrative bits.
