Re: [docbook] Equations and figures as descendants of an example

[Bob Stayton <bobs@sagehill.net>]

Hi Erik,
The example, figure, table, and equation elements are considered 
"formal" in DocBook, requiring a title (except equation) and are usually 
labeled with a number in output. You can use the informalfigure and 
informalequation elements as children of example as they do not require 
a title and are not numbered, leaving the numbering to the example element.
