[oXygen-user] Subfigure numbering with docbook 5

[Bernhard Kleine]

Hi Bob,

unfortunately, your suggestion did not work. Obviously a figure is glued
to one page, it cannot be spread on more than one. Therefore, the only
thing that comes to my mind would be to reset the figure number by -1.
Is this possible?

Regards

Bernhard
