Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ List of Figures important problem

[altgenn]

Dear all,

Our university wants us to include source names which appear within the caption of the figure at text. But They do not want it to appear at the list of figures. So I have to put a shorter version of the figure caption at the list of figures.
%
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=2in]{blabla}
\caption{ABC (Source: X \& Y 2000 page:121)} \label{fig:blabla}
\end{figure}
It is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:blabla}
%
So latex automatically puts the name on the list. How will I change it?
Any help will be appreciated.

Best,
altgenn

Every documentation about LaTeX basics suggest to use the short form for \caption.

Code: Select all

\caption[List entry]{Full caption}

A search in the forum would have helped, too.
