The caption under a figure in a session was the image library's own
description, and a library description is written to catalogue an image:
"an X-ray of a child's pelvis and hips, showing abnormalities in the
right hip joint" is a fine catalogue entry and a complete giveaway under
a stem about a limping five-year-old. One line in figure_json fell back
to it, and every one of the 343 figures in the bank was inheriting one —
338 of them on stems, read before the question was answered. Not one
figure had a caption of its own.
So a figure carries what the question says about it and nothing else.
The caption and the label are set on the question, when the image is
attached; most question figures want neither, and now show neither. The
catalogue title went with it — nothing rendered it, and it gives the
same thing away over the wire.
The second route in was the viewer: an image written into a stem as
markdown opens a panel that fetches what the library knows and prints
it. Inside an attempt it no longer asks. In the library, in an article,
in review of the image itself, the description is still the
description.
Also: no PMID links. A reference list says what was read; it is not a
set of doors out of the article. The number is there to look up, as
text.
And a drawer's own button is a cross. It kept the ☰ that opened it while
covering the screen, which reads as a second menu rather than the way
out of the one in front of you.
