Caption external images

[jdheyburn]

Hello,

Firstly thanks for making this plugin and contributing to the community!

I embed external images using the below format:

It would be good to be able to caption these too.

Thanks!

I added this in Release 0.0.9, give it a try and see if it works.

Note that there seems to be a bug in Obsidian in that it does not update the alt text of external embeded images when switching between Preview and Edit mode. I address this issue in the README of the plugin and raised it as an issue on the Obsidian forum.

Very cool, thanks for the quick addition.

Would it be possible to have URLs in the caption? I feel the alt text is good to keep too in case the image cannot be loaded, so at least you have a description of what the image was. Captioning adds some context behind the image.

But I think if I did the below in pure markdown, it solves what I want (source).

Which renders the below. Note I ran into that bug you mentioned, and kindly raised an issue for.

Would like to hear your POV before I close this out... thanks again!!

Also, not sure if this was a bug introduced in the latest version, but it seems that emojis are now duplicated for some reason when in Preview mode? I am on Obsidian 0.12.19.

Unfortunately Markdown processing isn't available to plugins, and I'm hesitant to start adding in my own processing. This was raised in Issue #2 and I opened a thread in the Obsidian Forum regarding it, but it hasn't gotten any traction.

It appears that the reloading error will be fixed in Obsidian version 0.13.10, so we'll have to wait for that release.

I couldn't reproduce the emoji bug. Can you provide a bit more info on your system (OS, device, etc.) and how you are adding the emoji. If you know how to open the Inspector for Obsidian, it would be useful if you could send me the DOM segment with the emoji, and any related errors from the console. (If what I said didn't make any sense, just ignore it, or I'm happy to walk you through the steps if you want as well.)

With the release of Obsidian 0.13.14, the issues regarding updating captions of external images has been resolved.
