Problem assigning element attributes in nested structures in external markdown files

[jjelosua]

First of all thanks for this great framework. I wanted to write the presentation using external markdown files, but I am having trouble assigning a custom css class to an element that has nested elements within.

For example an image with a link, I am trying to assign a class to the image but it gets assigned to the link instead...Is there a way to do this?

Example markdown with image and link [![Caption][eel_img]][eel]

Sorry if this is obvious but...can't figure it out

Similar issue here, where .element is not working as expected. It has no effect at all.

<div class="container">
    <div data-markdown>
        - **Topic1** (foo)          <!-- -->
            on  »next line«         <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
        - Topic 2                   <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
    </div>
</div>
