Use the figure tag for Markdown

By defautl ![...](...) is translated to <img src='...' alt='...'> in Markdown. This demo shows how to use the HTML5 <figure> tag:

library(knitr)
knit_hooks$set(plot = function(x, options) {
  paste('<figure><img src="',
        opts_knit$get('base.url'), paste(x, collapse = '.'),
        '"><figcaption>', options$fig.cap, '</figcaption></figure>',
        sep = '')
})

Test:

plot(rnorm(100))

This is a very simple-minded plot hook; you should take a look at knitr's default definition if you want to improve this hook function.
