This syntax plugin enables the creation of image captions in MediaWiki style and additionally create in-text references to these images. I created this plugin because we are using DokuWiki for software user manuals and we were missing the caption and image reference from LaTeX to refer to figures in your text.

Supports also renderer/export mode 'latex'.

Example syntax of caption and reference:

<imgcaption label|John Doe>{{:wiki:dokuwiki-128.png}}</imgcaption>

The Dokuwiki image can be seen in <imgref label>.

Are displayed as:

An image or table caption

<imgcaption mynewimg| This is my little caption>{{:my_image.png}}</imgcaption>

<imgcaption mynewimg2>{{:my_image.png|Title of the image is set in the caption if not set in caption yet}}</imgcaption>

<tabcaption tablelabel| This is my other caption>
^ Heading 1      ^ Heading 2       ^ Heading 3          ^
| Row 1 Col 1    | Row 1 Col 2     | Row 1 Col 3        |
</tabcaption>

You can refer to the <imgcaption> and <tabcaption> objects by using

<imgref mynewimg>
<tabref tablelabel>
<tabref ns:otherpage#nicetable>
<imgref :pageinroot#bigimage>

mynewimg, tablelabel and nicetable are the labels of the caption object. You need to use an unique label for each image. They are filtered and counted and the <imgref> and <tabref>tag will create a link to its referred object. When the object is on another page you needs to prefix it by the namespace, pagename and a # e.g. ns:otherpage#nicetable. The created links looks like:

figure 1
table 1
table 5
figure 3

When a reference name is not found, Fig. ## or table ## will be displayed. Please check whether your chosen reference name is correct or exists.

The default alignment for <imgcaption> is inline. (At the moment <tabcaption> will always appear as a page width block, future improvements will add hopefully alignment as well.)

You can set the alignment of an imgcaption:

<imgcaption image1       | Inlined caption&img>...</imgcaption>
<imgcaption image1 left  | Left floating caption&img>...</imgcaption>
<tabcaption image1 right | Right floating caption&img>...</tabcaption>
<imgcaption image1 center| Centered block caption&img>...</imgcaption>

When <imgcaption> has no alignment specified, but when the enclosed image has, this image alignment is used.

Beside the alignment classes (left, right and center) of this plugin, you can also add your own classes, which you can use in your own CSS customisations.

<imgcaption image1 specialcaptionclass |Special layout>...</imgcaption>
<tabcaption image1 left otherclass     |Nice>...</tabcaption>

Search and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
