Some Markdown implementations make use of image captions as follows (which seems to also be supported by Pandoc: usefull).

![Figure 1: Image caption text.](path/to/graphic.png)

This doesn't work in our case, and it seems that this might be tricky for Sandpoints to implement, since the same syntax is used for internal links.

Nevertheless, a convention/solution for standardizing captions is needed especially for academic applications.

A workaround that I have used to make a graphic and a caption appear related was to put both inside a blockquote, so that they have a tinted background.
