Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ \captionlabeldelim does not work

[neumannturing]

The \captionlabeldelim is a macro in the package caption2. however, this package does not work in my MikTex2.5 with the error \@makecaption undefined. When I check the doc, it says the caption2 is obsolete and should be changed to caption. However, \captionlabeldelim is not in the caption package. Any alternative macro can we use to change the captionlabeldelim? Thank you.

You should clarify what this \captionlabeldelim is (command, length) and what it does. Seems to me that this may be the separator between label and caption text. In this context you could describe what you want to do. So we may be able to find an alternative solution. Moreover it is recommendable to upgrade your LaTeX system to MiKTeX 2.7 because package repositories have been closed for 2.5 a long time ago.

Just as you think, the \captionlabeldelim is to change the seperator of the label and the caption, usually it is : or . However, I do not want any separator. Thank you.

[…] However, I do not want any separator. […]

With the current version of caption this is done very easy.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,labelsep=none]{caption}

But this looks very poor. I suggest to replace none with space (or even quad).

This will affect the whole document. What should I do if I just want to change the delimiter for one figure?

Just put \captionsetup{labelsep=space} inside that figure, right before the \caption command.
