Re: [docbook-apps] mediaobject phrase as caption for figure

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sco.com>]

Actually, you can do this without a customization.
Change the textobject to caption and phrase to para,
and you will get a caption below your picture.

The textobject is really meant as a substitute for
the graphic when the content is presented in a
non-graphical output mode.
