The caption should have as less options as possible as the caption
format has to be set globally to assure an uniform output, see my
argumentation http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4647#c3
As we discussed in the bug report the option of making a caption a
continued one is useful, but captionbelow is not.
So could someone please list the possible options? Without any knowledge
of LateX, those are the one that would make sense to me:
- continued: don't increment the counter, append a (continued) to the
caption label
- restart: restart the counter and discard previous value.
- set n: reset the counter at number n
I know how to implement 'continued' at LateX level but I am not sure the
next two are even possible...
We could add a caption settings part in the document settings, but
with this we have to require the caption package - wich could be a
nightmare. I have often been incontact with the caption developer due
to package conflicts and bugs. Some users might therefore better use
the commands provided by the document classes like in koma-script or
memoir. I don't know what is the best solution here - caption works
in all cases, but memoir and koma-script's own commands are less
error prone.
So this is another story independant of this issue AFAIU.
But in general, when you work at this, please assure that the
captions are set in the LaTeX-output in its own paragraph.
OK.
