Before: a laid-out Figure reached MXP, Pueblo and BBCode clients as its text art or its [description] only. Figure.Draw marked its rows only when LayoutContext.Pictures answered, and then with PictureCellsMarkup, which only the ANSI writer read. An MXP client that answered IMAGE in SUPPORT got no <IMAGE> from figure().

After: a figure's rows carry the figure's own ImageMarkup, with a new Row (PictureRow(Row, Rows, Columns)) saying where in the picture each row sits. MXP writes <IMAGE> once on the first row, Pueblo and HTML <img>, BBCode [img], and the rest of the picture's cells are written blank, so text floated beside it stays in its column. A client the tag is not offered to, or an HTML policy that refuses img, reads the art as before. ANSI with pixels draws in the same cells it used to. Art made of line breaks alone counts as no art.

How: PictureCellsMarkup is folded into ImageMarkup.Row, and ImageMarkup.StartsPicture(context) is the one test every writer uses to write the tag once. Figure.Draw marks its rows whenever the image has an address, with or without pixels. The element codec round-trips Row.

Notes:

  • PictureCellsMarkup is removed. It was listed in PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt but went out in 2.12.0 and 2.13.0, so a consumer that names it breaks. SharpMUSH does not reference it and needs only the package bump.
  • image() is not yet a one-row figure, so it still gets no terminal pixels. Left for a follow-up.

Tests: 1095/1095 in MarkupString.Tests, including the new Layout/FigurePictureTests.cs; dotnet format whitespace --verify-no-changes clean; dotnet pack succeeds.

figure() reached an MXP client as text art alone. Figure.Draw marked its picture
only for a terminal that draws pictures in cells (PictureCellsMarkup, under
LayoutContext.Pictures), so MXP, Pueblo and BBCode had no picture to write.

PictureCellsMarkup is folded into ImageMarkup as an optional Row (PictureRow:
row, rows, columns), and a figure with an address always marks its rows with it.
MXP, Pueblo, HTML and BBCode write the element once (ImageMarkup.StartsPicture)
and keep the figure's other cells blank, so text beside it stays put; a client
that refuses the element, or an HTML policy that refuses <img>, reads the art.
The ANSI terminal path is unchanged apart from reading the row off ImageMarkup.

Walkthrough

Figure rows now store picture metadata on ImageMarkup. Formatters emit picture elements once for supported formats and preserve row cells. When picture output is unavailable or refused, text art remains available.

Changes

Figure picture rendering

Layer / File(s) Summary
Picture row model and layout
MarkupString/Elements/ImageMarkup.cs, MarkupString/Elements/PictureRow.cs, MarkupString/Elements/PictureCellsMarkup.cs, MarkupString/Layout/Blocks/Figure.cs, MarkupString/Layout/Blocks/Block.cs, MarkupString/Elements/ElementCodecs.cs, MarkupString/PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt
ImageMarkup gains optional PictureRow metadata. Figure marks its rows with this metadata, and the image codec serializes and restores it. The PictureCellsMarkup type is removed.
Format-specific picture rendering
MarkupString.Ansi/Emitters/*, MarkupString.Html/Emitters/ElementHtmlEmitter.cs, MarkupString.Mxp/Emitters/ElementMxpEmitter.cs, MarkupString.Pueblo/Emitters/ElementPuebloEmitter.cs
ANSI, HTML, MXP, Pueblo, and BBCode emit picture elements at the start of a picture. Row formatters preserve the row’s display-width cells.
Cross-format tests and documentation
MarkupString.Tests/Layout/FigurePictureTests.cs, MarkupString.Tests/Ansi/TerminalFeatureTests.cs, CHANGELOG.md, MarkupString.Ansi/README.md, MarkupString.Mxp/README.md, docs/layout.md
Tests cover picture output, text fallback, row spacing, policy refusal, and serialization. The changelog and documentation describe the row representation and format output.

Figures with an image address but empty-line art can lose their picture in several output formats. This narrow case is mergeable with owner awareness or a localized fix.

width, so Draw uses its existing marked-description fallback instead of emitting
unmarked rows or skipping available pixels.

Comment thread MarkupString/Layout/Blocks/Figure.cs
A figure whose art held only line breaks returned its rows unmarked, so
no format wrote the picture. It now takes the description fallback, and
a terminal with pixels draws in cells sized for the pane rather than none.
