Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ array within caption environment

[sohail]

Hi,
I am trying to put an array within a figure caption but it gives error message
Argument of \@caption has an extra }.

Can anyone help, please.

Thanks a lot. I think the answer to my question is in your refered link but I am just struggling with the document you refered. Can you tell me more precisely as I am a new latex user?

This causes an error:

Code: Select all

\caption{A matrix here: $\begin{array}{lr} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}$}

This avoids the error:

Code: Select all

\caption[Text excluding the matrix]{A matrix here: $\begin{array}{lr} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}$}

The text in the optional argument will go to the List of Figures.
