General ⇒ Displaying N= in table caption but not in list of tables

[pjmiller_57]

Hello All,

I have a question that may be simple to answer. I can't find anything about it in my LaTeX books though and didn't seem to find much online.

I'm creating a list of tables using:

\listoftables

I also have some table captions that contain the number of patients in an analysis like:

Code: Select all

\caption{Results for Random Forest Model Using Scoring Data (N = 700)}

The tables look great. Trouble is that LaTeX inserts the "(N = 700)" into the text in the List of Tables at the beginning of the document. I'd prefer that it not do so.

Is there some simple way to fix this?

Thanks,

Paul

Use the optional argument of \caption:

Code: Select all

\caption[<use in LoF/LoT>]{<use with actual figure/table>}
