HTML visible in image caption

    When previewing my posts in the Apple News app (not approved yet), I see that if an image has a caption with a link in it, it’s showing up as plaintext so I can see the HTML. My writers need to link to image sources, so unfortunately I can’t just skip links in captions.

    HTML support is enabled and works correctly elsewhere. I’m using the Modern theme. Is there a fix I’m missing?

    Thanks!

    I just noticed that no issues have been resolved in two months…is this plugin dead? It’s really beautiful so I hope someone is still working on it.

    Just in case the plugin is dead, I did a little research and might have found a fix. I edited the JSON for the image with caption component on the theme I’m using (modern) to add this line:
    "format": "html",

    I can’t tell if it’s working yet as I have a lot of trouble figuring out if the changes I make are pushed live immediately, especially since I’m dealing with drafts, which I’m also having trouble updating and seeing updates show up in icloud. To fix this I’ve submitted articles without HTML captions on images so I might get approved and can then make edits and hopefully see them live.
