Obsidian Markdown Image Caption

Generate image caption easily. Completely markdown-based. Compatible with obsidian publish and any markdown editor.

demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dee_OzcibLI

Caution

This plugin only works with external images. I don't use local image so I have no intention to support. But I am open to PR.

Usage

%% caption ![alt](src) %%

%% lightbox ![alt](src) %%

%% lightbox-{group} ![alt](src) %%

then it will generate <figure> element with a <figcaption> element inside on command generate image caption on current file.

Tip

You will want to use this with custom save plugin to generate image caption on save.

How it works?

The plugin will recognise the syntax and then check if there is a figure element below it. If not, it will generate one. If yes, the figure element will be replaced by generated result.
