General ⇒ help needed on list of figures/tables

[Manish]

Hi,

I am having the following three difficulties,

1) I don't want a specific figure in my thesis to get included in the list of figures. I am using sidewaysfigure to insert that particular figure.

2) I want to manually insert an entry into my list of tables.

3) I want to insert a reference at the end of the bibliography, which I have not cited anywhere in the thesis.

I will be very grateful if somebody sort them out.

Thanks
Dekar

There's no need to duplicate your posts (as in this other thread).

1) Use the caption package and the optional argument of the \caption command. Add in the preamble

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}

and then something like

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \fbox{Test figure 1}
  \caption[]{Test figure 1}%using an empty optional argument
                           %will avoid inclusion in the lof
\end{figure}

2) You can use the \addcontentsline command;

Reamrk: You can achieve further customization of the ToC, LoF and LoT using the tocloft package.

3) Assuming you are creating your bibliography using BIBTeX, you can use the \nocite command; i.e., use something like

Code: Select all

\nocite{key_ref}

Another approach : the titletoc package (companion package of titlesec) has commands for partial tocs, lofs and lots, more generally for partial lists in the form of a few commands: \startlist, stoplist, \resumelist and \printlist.
