List of figures - configure target display location?

I'm told that the captions need to be below the figure.  I've decided to use a List of Markers instead, with Xref markers being placed above each image.  This will let me use non-linking captions below each figure yet enable the figures to display on-screen if a reader clicks the link in the List of Markers.

An entry in the List of Markers needs to look like this:

Figure 1: The House of Mouse

I've tested this and it works, but I'm having trouble with the formatting in the List of Markers.  The problem is with the requirement that Figure 1: needs to be in bold, with the rest of the text in non-bold font.  Since the <$markertext> variable contains the entire text, there's no way to format part of it differently from the rest.

I've attempted to resolve this using the following code on the Reference page:

Figure <$paranumonly[Figure]>: <$markertext>

This worked perfectly when I edited the Xref marker to remove the "Figure 1:" but one problem remains:

The $paranumonly[Figure] value starts at zero for some reason.  Even though the first figure in the document starts at 1, it shows up as zero in the LoM document I created.

Why is this happening?  Is there a way to initialize the variable to start at 1?

All I really need is a counter that starts at 1 in the LoM document.  I'm at a loss how to set a variable for use as a counter. 

Ideas? 

Suppose the graphic frames are anchored in the paragraph above:

Usually this paragraph above has a special paragraph tag, e.g. 'Graphics'.

Set up a new list of figures containing two paragraph tags:

• Graphics
• FigureTitle

It will look like this:

Do some magic with regular expressions:

• Find: ^(.)\d*\n(.)
• Change: $1$2

Now it will look like this:

Create a PDF. The links should work as desired.

No elegant solutions...it's best to have the titles above.

The issue is that you're referencing a specific marker, so either the title is above the figure, or you'll need a Cross-Ref marker on its own line to use for the cross-reference.
