The next several examples focus on variations in the captions, so they don't include the actual illustrations except when needed to explain why certain methods were used. Projects with special formatting requirements often will include instructions that, of course, override these examples. If not, or you're not sure what to do, ask.
Captions normally are centered, and we do not indicate centering, so the main caption doesn't need block markers. However, the "credit" line is left-justified, and we must indicate that. If no guidance is found in the project comments or discussion, ask; and absent guidance, use block quotes.
"Fig." is in small caps, so enclose the entire identification "Fig. 23." in those tags. If "Fig." is in italics, include the number and period in the italics tag, too, unless the project comments or discussion say otherwise.
