LaTeX forum ⇒ Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Custom Symbol as Caption Separator Topic is solved

Hello

I have a simple question. How to redefine the float caption separator to \textbar symbol. I tried the caption package, but it provide just a few non customizable options for sep, which doesn't include custom symbols.

Regards!

Obviously you missed to read Section 4 of the package manual and the explanations for the \DeclareCaptionLabelSeparator command.

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
 
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionLabelSeparator{bar}{ | }
\captionsetup{
   labelsep=bar
}
 
\begin{document}
   \begin{figure}[!ht]
     \centering
     \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
     \caption{Dummy figure}
     \label{fig:dummy}
   \end{figure}
\end{document}
