Hmm, maybe I don't quite understand the meaning of title and titleabbrev
here. Especially in figures with "scientific content", I often have a
large explanation of what is depicted in the figure. In LaTeX, I do that
with
\caption[short explanation]{very long explanation}
There, the list of figures only shows the [short explanation], because
the {very long explanation} were just too long.
Maybe <title> and <titleabbrev> is not what I need? But what else then?
Yes, I think you are looking for something more like
a caption for such explanations. The mediaobject element
inside figure will take a caption element.
Also, a table element will take a textobject element
after the title and before the tgroup element.
I haven't tried these so I don't know how they
format.
The <textobject> inside <table> is ignored in FO output.
In HTMl output, a link called "D" (why "D"?) appears. Following this
link, a new browser window pops up which shows the text inside the
<textobject>
I have a table with nonttrivial information. How do I markup additional
explanations about the content? Everything in <title> appears when I
make an <xref> to this table and is listed in the table of contents.
Shouldn't <titleabbrev> be used instead?
