Include the hypcap features

[dbitouze]

The package hypcap "tries a solution of the problem with hyperref, that links to floats points below the caption and not at the beginning of the float." It would be nice for hyperref to include the hypcap features.

Well this is not something that can done automatically in all cases: With a normal float with one caption, the default behaviour of hypcap is fine, but if more captions are involved it requires that the user understand what happens, and adds more \capstart commands in the right places.

Beside this: the long term plan is to remove patches from hyperref, not to add more ;-). So this will have to wait until there is sensible hook inside the floats, that can be used to add the destination.

OK but I guess 90 % of floats just have only one caption :)

This is not a patch request, just a feature request ;)

So a very long term plan, I guess :$

Yes, but hypcap has to redefine caption to avoid that it sets another destination, and this could break the other 10% floats.

Not really. Now that the hook management exists, more hooks can and will be added.
