  List of figures for article?

  Unless I'm misreading the documentation, even with the $lists-of-figures parameter set to true (the default value), no list of figures will be created by xslTNG for a DocBook document with <article> as a root element. Furthermore, I don't just want a list of figures; I want the list of figures in a particular location (after all <section> elements and before the <bibliography> element). I can add this functionality myself by hooking the m:lists-of-figures mode, but that makes my XML document less portable, since I'd have to distribute my xslTNG customization along with it and I couldn't just say "transform it yourself with your own installation of xslTNG".

  Is it reasonable to ask 1) that lists of figures be made available in a natural way for articles, and not only for books and sets, and 2) that the location of the list of figures in the output be made configurable, as well? If so, please consider this a feature request!

  Section labels need a wrapper for both the label and the separator

  Added the $label-wrapper parameter for labels

  Added the $label-wrapper parameter for labels

  This adds a wrapper around both the label and separator for labeled elements. This makes some kinds of CSS styling easier (for example, floating section numbers in the left margin). The default value is the empty sequence for backwards compatibility.

  Fix #670

  Improve numbering of co elements; change the default

  Fix #623

  It’s now possible to renumber callouts (co callouts) starting at each verbatim environment or at any of the other places used for numeration boundaries.

  new parameter callout-number-from for numeration of callouts

  See #623 Introduces the new parameter $callout-number-from. Numeration of co elements starts from the most recent node in any of the following categories: books, components, sections and verbatims (which includes synopsis elements).

  With the default value, callout numbers will be counted separately for every verbatim or synopsis element, if any (with sections as fallback). This affects test case calloutlist.003.

  If you want the current behavior (no reset for callouts numeration at all in the whole book), set this parameter to 'books'.

  New global variable $vp:callout-number-from acts like a compiled version of the $callout-number-from parameter.

  The default --on-error-color is a very bad choice

  It produces yellow on red text that is difficult to read. Kind of ironic for a <danger> element.
