9Originally forked from Till Biskup and mostly re-written. New repo due to change in syntax.

13Fixes:
14- No string searches to set reference links that appear before a label definition.
15- Change syntax to allow multiple classes to be used eg. left, center, right.
16- Add ability to have subfigures/tables.
17- Add option to change caption tag syntax.
18- Code easy to expand to caption label more tags if needed.
19- Updated some css styles to use flexbox.
20
21The following outputs are using the bootstrap3 template. Please note that the `<caption></caption>` syntax conflicts with bootstraps' caption. I recommend to modify the boostrap3 syntax to use something like `<bscaption></bscaption>`, or alternatively I have provided a setting to change the syntax of this plugin.

23Example output:

29New Syntax/ Example:
30-------------
31
32 - Currently supported blocks to caption are: `figure`, `subfigure`, `table`, `subtable`, `codeblock`, `fileblock`.
33
34```
35<figure opts| fig_label>
36 <subfigure opts| subfig_label1>
37 {{image1.jpg?direct&200}}
38 <caption>Subfig caption1</caption>
39 </subfigure>
40 <subfigure opts| subfig_label2>
41 {{image2.jpg?direct&200}}
42 <caption>Subfig caption2</caption>
43 </subfigure>
44 <caption>Main caption</caption>
45</figure>
46```
47
48Options:
49------------
50
51 - Alignment classes: `left`, `center`, `right`, `even`,`w-[40,50,60,70,80]` and can be used in conjunction with optional media queries (`-sm`, `-md`, `-lg`, `-xl`) eg. `right-sm w-80-sm`. `even` may only be used with figures.
52 - No colon: `blank`. Use this if you dont want to print a ':' after the figure number.
53
54If you want to apply your own css stying to the figures. Any option input are added as a class in the form `plugin_latexcaption_{option}`.
55
56
57Example with centering and caption number only:
58
59```
60<figure center blank>
61 {{image1.jpg?direct&200}}
62 <caption></caption>
63</figure>
64```
65
66Example subfigure with a long caption:
67```
68<figure center>
69 <subfigure>
70 {{image1.jpg?direct&200}}
71 <caption>A really long subfigure caption much longer than the image that needs to wrap</caption>
72 </subfigure>
73 <subfigure>
74 {{image2.jpg?direct&200}}
75 <caption>A moderately sized subfigure caption</caption>
76 </subfigure>
77 <caption>Main caption</caption>
78</figure>
79```
80
81This gives the output:
82
83![Example output2](example2.png "output of Example2")
84
85
86It is also possible to have more than one image in a figure/subfigure to group them with one caption:
87```
88<figure center>
89 {{image1.jpg?direct&200}}
90 {{image2.jpg?direct&200}}
91 <caption>A caption</caption>
92</figure>
93```
94
95In text referencing:
96-------------
97```
98{{ref>label}}
99```
100Warning: References may render unexpected results if your labels are not unique across all figures, subfigures, tables etc.!
101
102Set counter:
103-------------
104
105You can set the counter to any integer value at any point on the page.
106
107```
108<!-- Set the figure counter to 5 -->
109{{setcounter>figure=5}}
110
111<!-- Set the table counter to 3 -->
112{{setcounter>table=3}}
113```
