In theory, we can directly use <figcaption> HTML tags + direct HTML in the MD export. That will be actually the closest way. But direct HTML is not well-received when using the MD in practice. For example, sourcehut, GitHub, and Reddit do not allow arbitrary html fragments when rendering MD (AFAIK). > A workaround for Org is export snippet or block for the paragraph with > caption > > #+md: Figure 1. Caption A better workaround is a custom filter, or we may provide a customization, if someone offers a patch. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
