`figcaption: true` causes issues with screen reader

By adding figcaption: true
screenreader on mac reads aloud the alt text of the image twice. This happens because the alt text is not removed. For example, consider this input:
![Roo, captivated by the view of the Alps from 38,000ft](roo-alps.jpg)
This has the following output:
<figure>
<img src="roo-alps.jpg" alt="Roo, captivated by the view of the Alps from 38,000ft">
<figcaption>Roo, captivated by the view of the Alps from 38,000ft</figcaption>
</figure>
Better for voiceover (and I presume other screen readers) would be:
<figure>
<img src="roo-alps.jpg">
<figcaption>Roo, captivated by the view of the Alps from 38,000ft</figcaption>
</figure>

Hi 👋 Which version are you using? I believe this is a duplicate of #33, which is fixed.

My bad. I was using 0.9.0
- updated now and all fixed. I'll close this ticket.
