Text Formatting ⇒ Prepending Figure/Table to LoF/LoT

[onidavin]

Hello,

Is there a relatively newbie-friendly way of prepending a word such as "Figure" or "Table" to the label provided in LoF or LoT? Caveat: I can't use tocloft, as it dorks up the university template I'm using.

Hi,

...Is there a relatively newbie-friendly way of prepending a word such as "Figure" or "Table" to the label provided in LoF or LoT? Caveat: I can't use tocloft, as it dorks up the university template I'm using.

What about asking the author/maintainer of the template?

If that's not possible, then you could post here (as an attachment) the customized .cls file and perhaps someone will look through it and suggest you a possible solution.

Sadly, the template is no longer being maintained. The University hasn't posted an official one, because they decided that not enough students attempted to use LaTeX. Chicken/Egg Scenario?

It's available at http://ivan.research.ucf.edu/UCF_thesis ... hesis.html

Managed to figure out my problem using titletoc. It's a little hacky, as I've used inflexible widths to accommodate the word 'Figure', but maybe someone with the same problem will find this useful.

Code: Select all

 \usepackage{titletoc}
 \titlecontents{figure} [3.8em]
	{} 
	{Figure \hspace{3em} \contentslabel{2.2em}} 
	{\hspace*{-3.2em}} 
	{\titlerule*[1pc]{.}\contentspage}
