Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ how to modify the text of captionlabel

[clement]

hi:

I try to set up the label of caption, and expect to modify the text
of label. I apply the following code:

Code: Select all

\begin{table}
 \renewcommand{\captionlabel}{test} 
\end{table}

but it not work. Could any one give any advice about that, thanks.

I try to set up the label of caption, and expect to modify the text of label. I apply the following code:

\captionlabel is coming from which package? From the caption or the ccaption package or the memoir document class or...?

Code: Select all

\begin{table}
 \renewcommand{\captionlabel}{test}
\end{table}

I do not see a \caption here where the redefinition could take affect.

Here comes a working example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{test}{test}
\captionsetup{labelformat=test}
\begin{document} 
\begin{figure} 
  \caption{No picture}
\end{figure} 
\end{document}

thanks, and captionlabel is from package caption2.

please don't use caption2, it was replaced by caption.

...and the only support I (=author of the caption and caption2 packages) give for caption2 is helping migrating to one of the actual versions (3.0 or 3.1) of the caption package.

The section `Compatibility to older versions' in the actual caption package documentation contains a little guide for migrating from caption2 to caption 3.x, if you have any questions beyond that doc please don't hesitate to ask me.

I'm sorry about that, but caption2 is now outdated since about 6 years and it's not compatible to the modern needs of today, e.g. hyperref.
