Text Formatting ⇒ Unbold algorithm caption

[sladicg]

Hi!
Can anybody tell me how to unbold algorithm caption?

When I use algorithmic and algorithm packages, I got following caption:
Algorithm 1: My first algorithm

What I want is to replace bold "Algorithm" with unbold "Algorithm" and to replace ":" with ".", e.g.
Algorithm 1. My first algorithm

Any help?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know packages with these names. At least they are not listed on CTAN. Build a minimal working example (MWE) to shows what you are doing.


Best regards

This works for me:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{algorithm,algorithmic}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[algorithm]{labelfont=rm,labelsep=period}

\begin{document}

\begin{algorithm}[H]
  \caption{Calculate $y = x^n$}
  \label{alg1}
  \begin{algorithmic}
    \REQUIRE $n \geq 0 \vee x \neq 0$
    \ENSURE $y = x^n$
    \\ \ldots
  \end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}

\end{document}
