Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Insert square bracket in short caption

[spiderchee84]

Dear all,

Is there any way to insert square bracket in the short caption of a table?

Below is a minimal example of my code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}

\listoftables

\begin{table}
\caption[I wish to insert $[a,b]$]{Long caption}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{cc}
a&b\\
c&d\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Many thanks.

Hi,

enclose the caption using braces:

Code: Select all

\caption[{I wish to insert $[a,b]$}]{Long caption}

[…] enclose the caption using braces: […]

Or only the concerned expression.

Code: Select all

\caption[I wish to insert {$[a,b]$}]{Long caption}
