Hi Karl,

I was wondering whether there would be a means to have counters
independent of floats.

OK.

Unfortunately that leaves additional spaces in TeX outputs. There are
none in HTML nor text. I don't know for XML.
Can these spaces be killed?
This is basically the service I am looking for, something that would
allow leaving some captions for @example, and getting a table of these
captions, plus an easy means to xref them.
Something like
@c mycaption(CATEGORY, NODE, CAPTION)
@c ==================================
@macro mycaption{category, node, caption}
@float \category\, \node\
@caption{\caption\}
@end float
@end macro
BTW, these are the visible changes in my document in text. Was this
meant?
