figure.html and figcaption.html Shortcodes

Though the <figure>/<figcaption> elements are typically used for annotated images, but they don’t have to be. Instead of assuming that figures will always be images, this lets you specify markdown between a {{% figure %}}/{{% figcaption %}} block along with optional attributes for the respective HTML elements.

Source Code

Except for the tag name, these shortcodes are the exact same. I’m wondering if I should just make a generic block shortcode which just changes the tag name.

figure.html

{{ .Inner }}

figcaption.html

{{ .Inner }}

TODO

• Allow for non-closing shortcodes. Main blocker is there doesn’t seem to be a way to detect if a shortcode is a block or not.
