I don't want | to supply a title for every figure I use an <xref> to. Naturally, if you tweak your stylesheet, you can do anything you can implement :-). But the out-of-the-box behavior of my DSSSL and XSL stylesheets is that they number formal objects (things with titles) but do not number (or otherwise label) informal objects (or graphics/mediaobjects that occur directly in the flow). Given that an informalfigure is not labelled, what cross reference text could the stylesheets possibly produce? Sure, if informalfigures were automatically numbered, it could output "See Informalfigure 3-5" or something, but they aren't. So you can't use xref. So I have two questions: 1. Does that make the problem clear? 2. What semantic do you _wish_ were implemented? :-) Cheers, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com> | As a general rule, the most http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/ | successful man in life is the man Member, DocBook Editorial Board | who has the best | information.--Benjamin Disraeli
