Document Classes ⇒ subfig extraneous KV entries

[wheely_chairs]

Hi,

I am using the subfig package, which is great, but some of the options I'm entering in the preamble appear to be having no effect:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[font={footnotesize,sf},position=top,labelfont={bf,sf},subrefformat=subsimple,
listofformat=subparens,labelformat=simple,justification=raggedright,singlelinecheck=false,
margin=0.075\textwidth]{subfig}

Having investigated a little with the \showcaptionsetup command I find that the subfloat KV list includes other options, some of which are the same (i.e. duplicates), but with different values. Specifically, \showcaptionsetup returns the following:

Code: Select all

Caption Info: KV list on `subfloat'
Caption Data: (font=footnotesize, labelformat=parens,labelsep=space, listofformat=subparens,subrefformat=subsimple,,font={footnotesize,sf},,
position=top,,labelfont={bf,sf},,subrefformat=subsimple,,listofformat=subparens,,
labelformat=simple,,justification=raggedright,,singlelinecheck=false,,margin=0.075\textwidth,)

I've tried the \clearcaptionsetup command but that doesn't seem to do much. I'm not changing settings anywhere else in the code so I'm a bit confused as to where these extraneous settings are coming from; presumably they are the source of the null effect since they must be overiding my values? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

For a better understanding of your problem it would be good to have a minimal working example (MWE). Processing this MWE we would be able to figure out what's going wrong and giving specific help would be much easier. Please follow the guidelines for creating a MWE on the linked site.

Thanks! Bit of a newbie to LaTeX, having only been using it for the last few months, but loving it so far

Yeah, sorry about that:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, titlepage]{report}
\usepackage[font={footnotesize,sf},position=top,labelfont={bf,sf},labelformat=simple,
justification=raggedright,singlelinecheck=false,margin=0]{subfig}
\showcaptionsetup{subfloat}
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}

When I typeset the document, I get the following in the console (I'm using TeXShop):

Code: Select all

Caption Info: KV list on `subfloat'
Caption Data: (font=footnotesize, labelformat=parens,labelsep=space, listofformat=subparens,
subrefformat=subsimple,,font={footnotesize,sf},,position=top,,labelfont={bf,sf},,
labelformat=simple,,justification=raggedright,,singlelinecheck=false,,margin=0.0\textwidth,)

Coincidentally, I am now getting the result I expected (after a re-read of the documentation I discovered that 'subrefformat' only affects \subref*!!) but I'm still curious as to the source of these additional entries...

Thanks,

Chris

They will be done by the subfig package itself:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{subfig}
\showcaptionsetup{subfloat}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

HTH,
