CMS: Hugo v0.33 + Netlify CMS hosted on Netlify and GitHub

How would you want the caption saved into the markdown so that Hugo could use it?

Check this out: https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes#figure
The example there shows how Hugo uses markdown for figure caption

To use shortcodes like that, you can use registerEditorComponent, docs here: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/custom-widgets/#registereditorcomponent. If you need help, I can walk you through it.

Thanks for the info. I think I will be able to use the component without any requirement of help.

Someone has created a custom component for figure ?

Just made a "quick and dirty" custom component for Hugo figures being compatible with src, caption, link and width options.

Nice! You should consider packaging that up and publishing on npm.
