Trying to use space on a page more economically, I developed the idea to arrange graphics as a table being part of a figure. As I still wanted to refer to individual graphics, I also wanted to have captions for each such sub-graphic.



(Only after I had problems, I realized that there does exist a similar mechanism, also named subfigure and subcaption)



(I'm no TeX expert, I only know LaTeX a bit)



The code shown below outputs the references as Text... 1 (1.2) ... 1 ...
Text... 1 (1.3) ... 1
, so the sub-caption numbers are wrong, while the main caption number is correct. The intended output is Text... 1.2a (1.2) ... 1.2b ...
Text... 1.3a (1.3) ... 1.3b
.



The captions for the example code read (numbers are correct there):



Abbildung 1.1: Caption0

Abb. 1.2a: Caption1a Abb. 1.2b: Caption1b
Abbildung 1.2: Caption1

Abb. 1.3a: Caption2a Abb. 1.3b: Caption2b
Abbildung 1.3: Caption2


So here's the input for this example (use any placeholder graphic for Platzhalter.pdf):

(Originally I had named my counter subfigure also, but then I discovered that a counter with such a name already exists, so I appended the X).



Preferably the answer contains an explanation why my code does not work (everything that is wrong), how to do it correctly, and (as an extra) how I could achieve the same effect using the stock subfigure and subcaption mechanisms.
