how to add captions for images?

[nadine_yyysss]

I am trying to add captions for the images in a docbook file. I am using <caption> within <inlinemediaobject> tag, but it doesn't work. If I use <caption> with <meidaobject>, it works, but the display of images is not what I want. Does anybody know how to use caption for images and provide a wrapper? Many thanks.

Did you try figure?

 <figure>
   <title>Collony of Penguins</title>
   <mediaobject> ... </mediaobject>
 </figure>

I don't think the stylesheets are capable of generating an inline
image with a caption, if that's what you're asking.

Yes. That is what I am asking. If we can not do that through stylesheets, how will you implement it please? Thanks a lot.

It would depend on how you would want it to look, what output medium
you're using (PDF? HTML?), and how you intend to write the caption
into your DocBook source (caption as a child of inlinemediaobject?).

I should tell you that XSLT is not my forte.

The output will be html or actually php file. I would like to write the caption as a child of inlinemediaobject into my DocBook file. You are already very helpful. Thanks.

You still haven't specified how you want the caption to appear
relative to the image.
