Joris,

I've tried updating the "list-caption" macro, but it seems that it is  
updating the caption of the figure not the detail in the list of  
figures. By inserting the:

<compound|<merge|the-|<arg|type>>> into the list-caption macro

I now have Figure 1. 1caption, but nothing has changed in the list of  
figures.

Is there another macro somewhere that defines the list of figures  
content or I am doing this incorrectly? I just need the figure number  
to be included in the list of figures content.

Thanks,
Bob Lounsbury
