Markdown image titles

I have a simple markdown file containing an image:

![image](MyLovelyImage.png "some title")

I'm using the GitHub viewer and there I see the image fine, but without the title / caption. Is there any way to solve this?

Solution

  • Markdown's link / image titles aren't the same as captions, and Markdown itself has no support for captions.

    However, since Markdown supports inline HTML, you can caption images using <figure> and <figcaption>.

    Here is an example from the previous MDN link:

    <figure>
  <img
  src="https://developer.mozilla.org/static/img/favicon144.png"
  alt="The beautiful MDN logo.">
  <figcaption>MDN Logo</figcaption>
</figure>
