Text Formatting ⇒ Bold Typeface for Entry Prefixes in LoF

[AndreiR]

Hello all,

I'd like to ask for help, I'm new to LaTeX. Need to bold only a part of caption on List of Figures.

I have:

Figure 1 - ZZZZZZZ .........12
Figure 2 - YYYYYYY ........13

By using \renewcommand{\cftfigfont}{\bfseries}

Figure 1 - ZZZZZZZ .........12
Figure 2 - YYYYYYY ........13

But I need:

Figure 1 - ZZZZZZZ .........12
Figure 2 - YYYYYYY ........13

Thanks for the help.

For an adequate problem description and in order to avoid guesses and random shots please prepare a minimal example that contains all necessary but only relevant information in form of code.

Hi All,

I have the same issue that AndreiR had(has?). In the following MWE I would like to have my entries in the list of figures formatted as such:

Figure 1: Caption....... 1

and not as they currently appear where the caption of the figure is in bold as well.

e.g.

Figure 1: Caption....... 1

Here is the relevant MWE

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin9]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{babel}

\begin{document}
\renewcommand\cftfigpresnum{Figure }
\renewcommand\cftfigaftersnum{:}
\renewcommand\cftfigfont{\bfseries}
\newlength{\mylen}
\settowidth{\mylen}{\bfseries\cftfigpresnum\cftfigaftersnum}
\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{\mylen}
\addtolength{\cftfignumwidth}{1em}

\listoffigures


\begin{figure}
\caption{Caption}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Hi Craig,

welcome to the board!

Very good, that you posted a MWE to work with. So I suggest, instead of redefining \cftfigfont:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\cftfigpresnum{\bfseries Figure }
\renewcommand\cftfigaftersnum{:\normalfont}
