Empty Captions in PDF Output #1

Closed dsanson closed 12 years ago

First, this is a great little script. Thanks for it!

One issue I've noticed is that the ditaa images get transformed into links that look like this

![](image-1.pdf)

and since these links are alone on a line, pandoc tries to use the alt text as the figure caption, leading to empty captions. One workaround is to make certain that the image link is not alone on a line, by, for example, adding an escaped space, e.g.,

![](image-1.pdf)\

I've made that change on my fork. But it would be even nicer to be able to specify that alt text somehow. Perhaps something like

~~~ {.ditaa "My Image"}

would work? That might not be consistent with the other thing I am about to propose as a separate issue.
