But what else then? Yes, I think you are looking for something more like a caption for such explanations. The mediaobject element inside figure will take a caption element. Also, a table element will take a textobject element after the title and before the tgroup element. I haven't tried these so I don't know how they format. -- Bob Stayton 400 Encinal Street Publications Architect Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Technical Publications voice: (831) 427-7796 The SCO Group fax: (831) 429-1887 email: bobs@sco.com
