Vicent,

what do you like to see? Just a caption below the picture or even
a counter, label etc? What should be the output?

Just to create a caption fort html is easy using CSS:

xml/html-part:
<p class="withCaption">
<img src...>
This is the caption
</p>

CSS-part:

p.withCaption img {
display: block;
padding: 2px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
border-bottom: 1px grey solid;
}

p.withCaption {
font-style: italic;
padding-bottom: 4px;
}

That should do the trick, however, creating automatic numbers is much
more sophisticated
as it requires an own dtd and some xsl-files.
I have a draft of this working but with some drawbacks.
Unfortunately I have no time in the next two weeks but thereafter I can
send you some of the
ideas if you are interested...

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

thank you very much for your answer. It is all I need, no counters are required.
