Using an image caption in Markdown Jekyll

Question

I am hosting a Jekyll Blog on Github and write my posts with Markdown. When I am adding images, I do it the following way:

![name of the image](http://link.com/ima

Answer 1

If you don't want to use any plugins (which means you can push it to GitHub directly without generating the site first), you can create a new file named image.html in _includes:

  
  
{{ include.description }}

And then display the image from your markdown with:

{% include image.html url="/images/my-cat.jpg" description="My cat, Robert Downey Jr." %}
