unwanted image captions

unwanted image captions

[Clint Adams]

Text::Markdown will render

    ![some text](https://example.org/img/onetwothree.jpg)

to

    <p><img src="https://example.org/img/onetwothree.jpg" alt="some text" /></p>

This is what I want and expect.

However, when transforming markdown to HTML with pandoc, the following
is produced:

    <div class="figure">
    <img src="https://example.org/img/onetwothree.jpg" alt="some text" />
    <p class="caption">some text</p>
    </div>

Is there a way to render the alt text but not a caption?  A quick look
at the source code suggests that there is not.

Pandoc has an 'implicit_figures' extension which will treat paragraphs
containing just an image as figures. This feature can be turned off by
calling pandoc like this:

    pandoc -f markdown-implicit_figures -t html your-file.md

Does this solve your issue?

Yes, thanks.
