Captions on separate pages

This caption appeared on its own page, with the actual illustration on the following page.

Both the main caption and the sub-caption are centered, and we do not indicate centering. We do indicate italics and small caps, so both are tagged.

The illustration is shown in the next example, with a simple [Illustration] tag, so there will be two tags for one illustration. Why? Because it will make it easier for the post-processor: the second tag simply will be deleted, but in the plain text version, this tag, with its useful caption, will be ready for immediate use. In the HTML version, each actual picture has to be added anyway, so Henry's picture can just go here. So why mark the actual picture at all? For consistency: we always tag illustrations, and you have to do something with the page; you can't just pretend it isn't there.
