Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] mediaobject in lots tocs


Hi Dave,
You can certainly make this a customization for your stylesheet, but I don't 
think it would make a very good general feature for the DocBook distro 
because of the generated text in the TOC listing.   Both caption and 
textobject can contain any combination of block elements, which would not be 
suitable for a TOC line.  And just listing Mediaobject 1, Mediaobject2, etc. 
would not seem to be particularly useful to a reader (assuming the reader 
knew what a "Mediaobject" was).  So I see this as a specialized application 
for which a customization would be suitable.
