In theory, we can directly use <figcaption> HTML tags + direct HTML in
the MD export. That will be actually the closest way. But direct HTML is
not well-received when using the MD in practice. For example, sourcehut,
GitHub, and Reddit do not allow arbitrary html fragments when rendering
MD (AFAIK).

A better workaround is a custom filter, or we may provide a
customization, if someone offers a patch.
