Re: [docbook-apps] Caption on informalfigure not recognised by PDF stylesheet?

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Frank,
Yes, this is a bug.   It also applies to caption as a child of example 
or informalexample, all of which are permitted by DocBook 5.0.

This is a pretty big omission, and I have another issue, so I'll 
probably roll the stylesheet from 1.79.1 to 1.79.2 to fix them.
