[oXygen-user] Subfigure numbering with docbook 5

[Bob Stayton]

Hi Bernhard,

This is more of a DocBook issue than an Oxygen XML issue.

Currently DocBook 5.1 does not support subfigures, but version 5.2 under 
development will support a new element named <formalgroup> which can 
contain one or more "formal" elements (table, figure, example, 
equation).  That would allow for subfigures.  However, there is 
currently no release date for DocBook 5.2, nor do the stylesheets 
support that element yet.

For the current releases, I can only suggest a workaround.  Put two 
mediaobjects in a figure element (they are allowed), and give each 
mediaobject a <caption> element whose para includes  "a." or "b." and 
include subtitles there if needed.    Maybe someone else has a better 
suggestion.
