[docbook-apps] Problem: Not both textobjects & imageobjects in xsl/html output

[Mark Johnson <mrj at debian dot org>]

Hi All,

When generating html output, the xsl stylesheets will only render 
the first <*object> within a <mediaobject>.

For example,

    <mediaobject>
      <textobject>
         <para>some text</para>
      </textobject>

      <imageobject>
	<imagedata fileref="graphic.png"/>
      </imageobject>
    </mediaobject>

only outputs the <textobject> content. When I reverse the order:

    <mediaobject>
      <imageobject>
	<imagedata fileref="graphic.png"/>
      </imageobject>

      <textobject>
         <para>some text</para>
      </textobject>
    </mediaobject>

only the graphic gets rendered.

Is this the intended behavior? (Smells like a bug.)

However, I *can* output the combos imageobject/caption or 
textobject/caption, so that I can place text above or below the 
graphic. But this approach/hack only allows me to use one block of 
text within the mediaobject, when I really want to have the option 
of rendering a text object both before & after a imageobject.

Any insights?

Slight digression below
-----------------------

FWIW, I found a simple hack to (globally) move the <caption> so it 
appears before the imageobject by simply reversing the order of the 
statements

    <xsl:apply-templates select="$object"/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="caption"/>

in the file html/graphics.xsl.

Thanks,
Mark
