Pandoc 1.6 exports images in DocBook very strange. The captions are set wrong. I have to use:

cat text.db | sed -e 's/<inlinemediaobject>/<figure>/g' -e 's/<imageobject>//g' -e 's/<objectinfo>//g' -e 's/<\/objectinfo>/<mediaobject><imageobject>/g' -e 's/<\/inlinemediaobject>/<\/mediaobject><\/figure>/g' > text.db

The OBJECTINFO element seems to be worthless and the included title will be never shown: http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/objectinfo.html

The way to include an image with caption correctly is described here: http://www.ibiblio.org/godoy/sgml/docbook/howto/using-docbook.html#INSERTING-PICTURES

I can't reproduce this. I don't get anything with . Pandoc gives me:

% pandoc -t docbook

caption caption

That seems almost identical to the second example you referenced (except no tag). Would it be better to output something like:

<figure>
   <title>Picture's Title</title>
   <graphic fileref="images/file"></graphic>
</figure>

I can't remember whether I looked into that option.

Issue 267 has been merged into this issue.

I don't know what I drank or what kind of drugs my server buys if I am away. Yes, there is no bug. The images are fine. Sorry.
