The <textobject> inside <table> is ignored in FO output. In HTMl output, a link called "D" (why "D"?) appears. Following this link, a new browser window pops up which shows the text inside the <textobject> I have a table with nonttrivial information. How do I markup additional explanations about the content? Everything in <title> appears when I make an <xref> to this table and is listed in the table of contents. Shouldn't <titleabbrev> be used instead? Joachim
