caption syntax #79

Open danmackinlay opened 4 years ago

In standard blogdown the default syntax supports figure captions

rendered as 

<div class="figure">
<img src="/images/girl_cthulhu.jpg" alt="">
<p class="caption"><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/cayusa/2858037869/in/photolist-GkcJmx-7ZdhFy-BYDdfd-5mycbP-BBLDmW-5mycCk-7Za3ZV-6BgA4-5mycqX-5myc5Z-zXDD-57YdkC-35rkdE-7nNE2w/">A girl and her plushie by Bart</a></p>
</div>

AFAICT hugodown will render captions as alt attributes and does not support captioned figures. Is that correct? I should put it in the docs if so (possibly in the features matrix of hugdown vesus blogdown)

Slightly related, to be able to use captions and other options of Hugo's figure shortcode, for rOpenSci I had defined a custom plot hook (I can't remember whether I tested it with hugodown) https://github.com/ropensci/roweb2/blob/master/archetypes/Rmd/index.md#L51
