Citing Articles in LoF

Post by phononbte »

Hi,
I have the following problem:
I have cited a few articles in the captions of my figures. When I compile my document, because the list of figures is compiled before the chapters are compiled, the reference number 1 is assigned to the article cited in the caption for the figures, and therefore appears in the list of figures. My advisor, however, wants the reference number 1 to appear in Chapter 1. How do I make sure than the referencing begins in chapter 1 but the list of figures still appears before the start of chapter 1?

Citing Articles in LoF

Usually the citations don't appear in the LoF entries. You can use a short form by an optional argument for the \caption command to typeset the LoF entries without citations.

Code: Select all

\caption[LoF entry]{Full caption with citation\cite{key}}
This way your problem should disappear.


Best regards and welcome to the board
