missing tag figcaption

[holgerbrandl]

The figcaption tag is missing in the kotlinx DSL.

See http://w3c.github.io/html-reference/figcaption.html

In fact it would be even more helpful if the docs could detail out how to add a custom tag on top of the existing library (if this is possible with kotlinx) (ie to show how to extend the kotlinx DSL). In https://github.com/kotlin/kotlinx.html/wiki/Micro-templating-and-DSL-customizing you already do so to some extent, but custom tags don't seem not to be covered there.

For now the only workaround seems to be

StringBuilder().apply {
    appendHTML().figure() {
        img {
            src = movie.movieInfo?.coverImageURL
        }
    }
    append("<figcaption class='picture-item__title pull-left'>" + movie.name + """</figcaption>""")
}

but by using kotlinx I'd like to avoid simple unstructured string-building.

@holgerbrandl sure, you shouldn't. Btw you shouldn't append tags by append as the content should be properly escaped. You need to use unsafe for that purpose.

Let me look at the tag definition

Fixed in 0.5.7

Thanks for the fast doc-update. Worked great for me to add figcaption. Imbho capitalization is wrong in the extension function of the example : Instead of fun DIV.CUSTOM(...) it should be fun DIV.custom(...)

@holgerbrandl ops, just an accident
