Avoid References in LoF

Post by con20or »

Hi,

I have inserted some references in my figure captions (images from the web etc).

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centerline{\includegraphics[width=8cm]{Introduction/sample.png}}
\caption{Table of Figures Looks Weird \cite{con20or2012}}\label{fig:CH1_Sample}
\end{figure}
Unfortunately when I compile the list of figures (LoF), it includes the reference in the table name there. I know it should, I just would like it not to, because I think it looks weird in the LoF.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Conor

Avoid References in LoF

It should have got around by now that there exists an optional argument for the \caption command. Use this to specify the LoF entry for the concerned figure(s).

And you should use the \centering declaration instead of the \centerline command.
