Edit: I FUCKING LOVE YOU, WAHOO!!!
Edit: is there any way to caption the text or abstract over displaying the link with the text you want go caption it as? Is that somehow possible?

I don’t think so. AFAIK there is no native method to caption images in markdown, which is what this editor uses. People try to bring about this effect by italicising the part they would want as a caption right underneath the image. However, in your case, I see a
[You've done well]banner underneath the image, which I assume is the caption you meant. Not sure how that happened but if that works, great!*some text*= some textWhat do you think about my workaround I edited in? It works, however inelegantly
Hmm, I’m on my computer now and I can’t see the image for some reason.
Edit: sorry, just my browser. But why do I see two
[You’ve done well]s?U see it?!
