Figure

Example

With this markup:

{{< figure
  src="/images/examples/zion-national-park.jpg"
  alt="A photograph of Zion National Park"
  link="https://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm"
  caption="Zion National Park"
  class="ma0 w-75"
>}}

Hugo renders this HTML:

<figure class="ma0 w-75">
  <a href="https://www.nps.gov/zion/index.htm">
    <img 
      src="/images/examples/zion-national-park.jpg" 
      alt="A photograph of Zion National Park"
    >
  </a>
  <figcaption>
    <p>Zion National Park</p>
  </figcaption>
</figure>

Image location

The figure shortcode resolves internal Markdown destinations by looking for a matching page resource, falling back to a matching global resource. Remote destinations are passed through, and the render hook will not throw an error or warning if unable to resolve a destination.

You must place global resources in the assets directory. If you have placed your resources in the static directory, and you are unable or unwilling to move them, you must mount the static directory to the assets directory by including both of these entries in your site configuration:

module:
  mounts:
  - source: assets
    target: assets
  - source: static
    target: assets

[module]
  [[module.mounts]]
    source = 'assets'
    target = 'assets'
  [[module.mounts]]
    source = 'static'
    target = 'assets'

{
   "module": {
      "mounts": [
         {
            "source": "assets",
            "target": "assets"
         },
         {
            "source": "static",
            "target": "assets"
         }
      ]
   }
}
