    Generate Figures Gallery

    Create an HTML gallery page displaying all project figures with their captions and source notebooks.

    Steps

    1. Scan images/ for all image files:

      • Supported formats: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .svg, .pdf
      • Record each file's name, path, and modification date
    2. Scan all registered notebooks (from _quarto.yml) for cells with fig- labels:

      • Extract the cell label (e.g., fig-sample, fig-event-study)
      • Extract the caption from #| fig-cap: or *| fig-cap: directives
      • Record the source notebook path
    3. Generate an HTML gallery page with:

      • A title and generation timestamp
      • For each figure from images/:
        • Image thumbnail (or placeholder for PDFs)
        • Filename as caption
        • File size and dimensions (if determinable)
      • For each figure from notebooks:
        • The cell label
        • The caption (from cell directive)
        • The source notebook name
        • The embed shortcode: {{< embed notebooks/<name>.ipynb#<label> >}}
      • Simple CSS styling for a grid layout
    4. Save the gallery to _manuscript/figures-gallery.html (the _manuscript/ directory is gitignored, so this output won't be committed).

    5. Report:

      • File path to the gallery
      • Count of figures from images/
      • Count of figure cells from notebooks
      • Command to open: open _manuscript/figures-gallery.html

    Error handling

    • If images/ does not exist or is empty, note it and continue with notebook figures.
    • If no notebooks have fig- labeled cells, note it and continue with images/ files.
    • If both sources are empty, report "No figures found in the project."
