Hi,

on 2009-06-18 there was a mail on the list with a collection of mkIV problems, a big part related to references and captions. (original text below)

I just did a quick re-check with the actual minimals and lua, with the following result:

Problems 2), 3) and b) are gone,
problems 1), 4), 5), a) and c) are still there.

I'm not sure if the remaining problems are due to bugs or rather a result of my poor comprehension  of certain changes/new things in the mkIV code (especially c).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thomas

Same thing here with 1,3,4,5.
2 works fine.

I've noticed also 3 problems since I switched to MKIV:

a) Floatcaptions are no longer placed:

\externalfigure[dummy]
\placefloatcaption[figure]{blabla}

b) \start...\stopregister results in an error:

hmmpf\startregister[index][identifier]{Hmmpf}\page[yes]
\dorecurse{2}{hmmpf\page[yes]}
hmmpf\stopregister[index][identifier]\page[yes]
\placeregister[index][compress=no]

c) I'm not able to build caption numbers with the chapter number as prefix:
I want for example "Fig. 2.6" where "2" is the chapter number and "6"
the figure number by chapter. I tried all the options I found for
setupcaptions (at least I think so), but I dont get the chapter number
in the caption.

Thanks in advance for any hint

Greetings
