Subject: Re: Use of titleabbrev in list of figurea and tables

But what else then? For figure, it probably is what you need. DocBook doesn't really have anything appropriate for "caption" except in mediaobject. I don't recall why we added it to mediaobject and I sortof wish we hadn't since it makes us look schizophrenic. Anyway, file the feature request for using titleabbrev in the ToCs and I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, over on the docbook list (not here) perhaps we should talk a little bit about the relationship between title and caption and see if we can't come up with something a little more logical.
