Recently we were talking about some of the problems of having graphics
in frames along with the captions, and I mentioned that when
converting the ODT to wiki format, the captions got lost.
I am delighted to report that OOo 2.3 contains an export filter to
wikimedia format and it retains the captions within the frames --
unlike the set of macros I had been using (Writer2MediaWiki).
Since 2.3 also appears to save graphics in frames to Word DOC format
the way it should (in contrast to the problems Andrew P reported with
2.2.1, it seems that two of the main objections to retaining our style
of enclosing graphics and captions in a frame have been overcome.
However, I do not have a problem with anyone putting the graphic and
caption in separate paragraphs if they prefer to do it that way. I do
that sometimes myself, for various reasons.
Maybe it's time for a well written How-to on some of these exports, etc.
because I and others might not want to go back through the recent posts,
especially for us who do not retain all of them.
