How to make Hugo work with images any better?

So has there been any updates to make Hugo work with images any better? I find this whole process in writing shortcode layouts just to keep my images together ridiculous.

You should start a new thread for your problem statement. FWIW contents+images together work fine on my sites without any “shortcode layouts”. As I mentioned earlier, I only needed to patch the figure shortcode.

Here’s a very recent example:

• Markdown | Generated HTML

From the Markdown example above:

{{< figure src="nested-boxes.svg" caption="Figure 1: PlantUML generated figure showing nested boxes" >}}

• The nested-boxes.svg is in the same directory as the leaf bundle directory containing index.md.
• I am not doing anything special in the single.html (layout file) to handle that image (that’s along with the content).
