I'm writing a book using iWork '09 and would like to adhere to the ePub standards. How would I "caption" a photo or video? And how would you make sure the caption "stays" with these media elements when they're set to "floating"?
Thanks.
Make the photo Inline, in the text, on its own paragraph, with the the caption immediately under it in the next paragraph. You can save them in your Styles Drawer as "Image" style with "Caption" style as the Following paragraph style and the appropriate space before and after the caption.

Thanks. Very helpful
One more thing, is there a way to "join" a photo/video with its caption to ensure the caption won't be split-up onto a seperate page? Or is pagination just a wild card we must accept?
It seems that you didn't took time to read Apple specs applying to the export to epub feature.
They state that you must change your pictures status from floating to inline.
Just for info as it's not relevant for documents designed to be exported as epub, my own choice for captions is to insert each picture in a text box with the wanted caption.

But didn't I read that text boxes are a "no no" for ePub?
Is it so difficult to read carefully ?

Wow. I guess I was confused a bit since you were offering me information not at all relevant to my original question.
Thanks regardless.
