Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Centering equations in captions

[jediwhelan]

Hi,

For the life of me, I can't work out how to center equations within caption. \begin{equation ... \end{equation can't be used within \caption, and I've experimented with various methods/workarounds but to no avail. No amount of googling has helped either.

For example:

\caption{Regression of blah blah blah etc etc etc :

$rx_{t,t+12}^{(n)} = \phi^{(n)} X_t + \gamma^{(n)} Y_t + \rho^{(n)} Z_t + \varepsilon_{t+12}^{(n)}$

where $X_t$ is constructed from blah blah , $Y_t$ is a blah blah. Etc etc etc ... description of the table.}

There must be a simple solution?

\begin{equation ... \end{equation can't be used within \caption

It can with a little help from the caption package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off}
\caption[Regression of blah blah blah etc etc etc]
{Regression of blah blah blah etc etc etc :

\begin{equation}
rx_{t,t+12}^{(n)} = \phi^{(n)} X_t + \gamma^{(n)} Y_t + \rho^{(n)} Z_t + \varepsilon_{t+12}^{(n)}
\end{equation}

where $X_t$ is constructed from blah blah , $Y_t$ is a blah blah. Etc etc etc ... description of the table.}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

(See also section 3.1 in the caption package manual)

Fantastic!
