Photo caption
Photo captions, also known as cutlines, are a few lines of text used to explain and elaborate on published photographs.[1] In some cases captions and cutlines are distinguished, where the caption is a short (usually one-line) title/explanation for the photo, while the cutline is a longer, prose block under the caption, generally describing the photograph, giving context, or relating it to the article.[2]
Captions more than a few sentences long are often referred to as a "copy block". They are a type of display copy. Display copy also includes headlines and contrasts with "body copy", such as newspaper articles and magazines. Captions can also be generated by automatic image captioning software.

gollark: Maybe you can steal just the markdown parser and tack a simple markdown AST to HTML backend on.
gollark: pulldown-cmark (Rust CommonMark parser) contains 3000 lines of parsing code, although it does have to care about low level details and does some SIMD magic for performance.
gollark: Standards compliant markdown parsing is very hard.
gollark: Neat, my site has 86 XHTML errors.
gollark: Early versions of mine circa 2016 did, but now it's all statically compiled.
