# 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."
