Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Caption w/ 2+ paragraphs & Numbering

[fja]

Hi!!

This's the deal: I'm writing my thesis (and using a MacBook with MacTex-2009), and I will need to insert many figures/tables/graphics. I have no problem with that. But I need to put, in the caption of each one, in the 1st line the description of it, and in a new line, but with the same format, the source of the figure/table/graphics.


And the second one: I'm using the following schema: IV. CHAPTER->4.3. SECTION->4.3.5. SUBSECTION… I mean: the chapter number in Roman, but in the rest of titles, in arabic. I have this allready solved (with help of this forum, of course), but I can't do the same with the numbering of figures/tables/graphics. When I compile my text, this fig/t/g appears like IV.2. Figure two., and of course, I need something like 4.2. Figure two.
A short example:

(centered above the image)
Figure 4.2: Figure two
(also centered)
Source: Bla bla bla.

Thanks for your help!!

P.S: the code I'm using: (I present a table here:)

Ok, I'm answering my self (and that's good, because I'm learning too!!)

So, I added in the preamble (after the babel package):

Code: Select all

\usepackage[parskip=1pt]{caption}

and I could solve the first part of the question. About the numbering, not a clue.

And how to type it? Well, like this: (works for me)

Code: Select all

\caption[]{First part\\Second part}

About the numbering, not a clue.

Just redefine \thefigure the same way you have redefined \thesection, i.e.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{figure}}

Thank you, it works!!
