Recently we were talking about some of the problems of having
graphics in frames along with the captions, and I mentioned that
when converting the ODT to wiki format, the captions got lost.
I am delighted to report that OOo 2.3 contains an export filter
to wikimedia format and it retains the captions within the frames
-- unlike the set of macros I had been using (Writer2MediaWiki).
Since 2.3 also appears to save graphics in frames to Word DOC
format the way it should (in contrast to the problems Andrew P
reported with 2.2.1, it seems that two of the main objections to
retaining our style of enclosing graphics and captions in a frame
have been overcome.
However, I do not have a problem with anyone putting the graphic
and caption in separate paragraphs if they prefer to do it that
way. I do that sometimes myself, for various reasons.
