Explicit figures?

Explicit figures?

[Joseph Reagle]

If I have an image link in a paragraph by itself...

  ![caption](media/pixabay-dog-115078_640.jpg)

... when it is rendered it is done so as a figure with a caption.


However, if I chose to then link it somewhere, I lose the figure/caption.

  [![caption](media/pixabay-dog-115078_640.jpg)](http://example.com)

The [manual] tells how to prevent a lone image link from becoming a figure with a caption. But is there a way to force the figure/figcaption within a link?

You can't have a whole figure within a link.

We could think about adjusting the implicit_figures
extension so that it allows this kind of case too.
But probably better just to wait for things to be
cleared up with a block-level figure element:
