This is a non-trivial, but instructive exercise for the use of style files.
When looking at env-float.ts (C-x C-f env-float.ts return), you may notice
the definition of the "list-caption" macro, which puts the caption of
a figure/table in the list of figures/tables. The macro takes the type
of the environment (figure, table, ...) and the caption as arguments.
The type may also be used to get the associated counter, using

        <compound|<merge|the-|<arg|type>>>

Putting this in front of the caption, together with a space
(inside the list-caption macro) should therefore do the trick
(with this difference that you get the number of the figure/table
in front of the caption instead of the chapter number, but that
is probably better anyway).

Best wishes, Joris
