[Framers] Captions

[Lin Sims]

Frame goes to where you put the cross-reference marker, so yes, if you want
the graphic to be visible when you jump to it, you have to put the marker
above the graphic. Frame only has one type of cross-reference marker; there
is no way for the program to distinguish between "this place in the text",
"this caption above a graphic", or "this caption below a graphic".
