If anyone on the list is at the DITA conference I'll be showing this exact template there as well. If you want to see an example, I may be able to build a generic one over the weekend. Let me know...

After all, it is a paragraph tag, so it must be a paragraph. However, in my case, my achored from is designated as "at insertion point" and I shrinkwrap all my graphics (esc m p). To me, it doesn't matter that it is a paragraph attribute as the graphic is the only thing in the paragraph. --- "Ridder, Fred" wrote: > Sorry, John.

Oops. Meant a suffix... See my other email for the details. Then attach paragraph formatting to the caption however you want, but add a Prefix of \r to put a line break at the end of the paragraph.

Well, I was about to say... ;-) Yes, I really did notice this, this structure stuff is keeping me on my toes. As it's... er... all of nineteen years since I wrote any real computer code, it's reaching places in my brain that other tasks don't reach, to borrow a well-known commercial. And finding a great deal of cobwebs and general debris there. -- Steve
