Any option to use emphasis inside figcaption?

[danmondra]

Hello, first thanks for creating the plugin, it has been useful for me.
I was wondering if there is any option to use emphasis inside the figcaption, like bold, italic or both?

This plugin transforms the alt text you specify for images using standard markdown syntax.

![Image](http://url/a.png)

becomes

<figure class="figure">
  <img src="http://url/a.png" alt="Image">
  <figcaption>Image</figcaption>
</figure>

The alt text is treated as plain text by default by Remark and is rendered as such. Straying away from this behavior is out of scope of this plugin.

If you really want to render something in bold or italics in the figcaption, I'd recommend you to use raw HTML in markdown.

<figure class="figure">
  <img src="http://url/a.png" alt="Image">
  <figcaption><em>Emphasized</em> Image</figcaption>
</figure>

If you need to render the captions in bold or italics, you can customize this with CSS.

figcaption {
  font-weight: 700; /* for bold */
  font-style: italic; 
}
