I can imagine that a list of figures is a difficult problem in some other back-ends. However, its absence in LaTeX export seems unusual. Would it make sense to have this work as expected for LaTeX export (and perhaps other back-ends where it does make sense) and have other back-ends insert a comment? Not a big thing, obviously, but I was surprised when it didn't work. All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
