Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Formatting the List of a custom float name

[ChemistKatie]

Hi,

I have used the trivfloat package to make a "Spectrum" float. However, when I use the \listofSpectrums command this works prefectly, except the plural of Spectrum is Spectra!

Can someone let me know how I can change the heading of this list to "List of Spectra" rather than "List of Spectrums" please?

I have tried:

Code: Select all

\listofSpectrums 
\renewcommand{\listSpectrumname}{Lista de Figuras}

Thanks,

Katie

Of course you have to redefine the list name before generating the actual list. I have no problem with the code below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{trivfloat}

\trivfloat{spectrum}
\renewcommand{\listspectrumname}{List of Spectra}

\begin{document}
  \listofspectrums
  
  \begin{spectrum}[!ht]
    \centering
    \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    \caption{Dummy Spectrum}\label{spec:dummy}
  \end{spectrum}
\end{document}

Best regards
Thorsten

Thank you, works perfectly!

I am still getting used to the language and the layout of Latex. Hopefully soon I will be fluent!
