A purpose of a system like AkashaCMS is simplifying the work of content authors to more efficiently write their content. The task of simplifying work is multi-faceted and can be taken in many different directions. The task at hand was to collapse the <figure>/<img> combination into a simplified tag. This combination is the preferred way of presenting images, especially when there's to be a caption.
The typical pattern is:
<figure>
<img src="/path/to/some-image.jpg"/>
<figcaption>Caption text including Source: BBC</figcaption>
</figure>
While the HTML isn't all that extensive it can be tedious to write this over and over. The simplification?
<fig-img href="/path/to/some-image.jpg"/>
Caption text including Source: BBC
</fig-img>
