Small formatting issue with captions in float package

[evoludolab]

In my .tex file I define a new float environment using

\floatstyle{plain}
\newfloat{simulation}{ht}{los}[chapter]
\floatname{simulation}{\bfseries Interactive lab}

This yields the expected output from latex for the caption:

However, when converting to XHTML with lateXML the caption is formatted as

Note that there are two small, related problems: first, the colon is missing after the numbers and second the entire caption is set in bold instead of only floatname plus the counters.

It seems like lateXML is dropping a couple of closing characters after the counters and prematurely continues processing the rest of the caption. This should be easy to fix but unfortunately I did not succeed so far.

Thanks for the report! Seems like a quick fix for float.sty.ltxml

Well, it should have been easy... but in any case is fixed now. Thanks for the report!
