9 years ago Rule: All figures have to have a title. Examples in the past of where they don't have been chemical structures. However, these elements need a title for their own landing page. It is useful to have a caption too, so the DOI will display on the main page. There may be a decision to not display on the PDF. See http://elifesciences.org/content/elife/2/e00499.full.pdf
This includes figures in boxes and appendices

Figures are only given the parent tag of ONLY if there is more than one object present (ie a figure supplement #62 or source data #63). In order for them to be group together correctly on the html display, they need to be contained within the fig-group tag.
The standard position for a figure is "float".
Each item is given a unique DOI, which is given an object-id at the top of the entry, a plain bold prefix of DOI at the end of the legend and an xref link to the DOI The label is the item, eg Figure 1. The caption consists of a title and the text
