Enhancement request (Wiki markup functionality)
Caption text in a gallery takes on the centering of the gallery. For an uncentered gallery individual image text may be centered by bracketing with <center>...</center>
I have been unable to obtain left justified caption text in a centered gallery, whether that gallery was centered by bracketing with commands or centered via the gallery "align" command.
Related to this see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43035
If there is a method, please let me know, otherwise the following.
I am proposing Three methods to obtain this:
1.) Do not propagate centering to the text, wether via bracketing or in the align command. The former since bracketing is required to work around a known bug, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43186. If that is fixed then general bracketed centering would not be necessary and only the gallery braketing would be disabled for caption text - this can be overridden with center command bracketing in the individual caption text.
2.) Add to the gallery syntax 'aligntext="left"', also "center" and "right".
3.) Accept and process in the captions, in addition to "<center>...</center> the markup "<left>...</left>" and "<right>...</right> (the latter for completeness in right-to-left language markup). (These do not work at the present time, I tried them.)
Thanks,
- Leonard.
