I want to add a Figure caption and a Figure description for my dissertation in following way,


does anybody know how to do that in side the float environment?

Use the caption package as shown in the example below.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,margin=\parindent,tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \rule{0.75\textwidth}{0.5\textwidth}
    \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
    \caption*{\blindtext}
  \end{figure}

  \blindtext
\end{document}

Best regards and welcome to the board
