Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Captions exclude from 'list of figures'

[tomasz]

Hello,

I am writing my thesis and I have a lot of images with a long descriptions.
How to use only part of description of the image in 'list of figures'?

Fox example.

\caption{Cancer growing. A long description of images explaining some difficult theory}

In result, I'd like to have only "Cancer growing" in 'list of figures'?


Thank you
Tomasz

Hi,

you can use the optional argument of the \caption command; i.e., you could use

Code: Select all

\caption[Cancer growing]{Cancer growing. A long description of images explaining some difficult theory}
