Math Expression in Caption of Sub-float

Post by musiige »

Hi

I have been using subfigure until these sub figures couldn't fit on a single page and I switched to subfig. I'm now getting the error "missing $ inserted" because i have some math in the caption as shown below:

Code: Select all

\subfloat[Power $-10^0C$.]{\label{cc}} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{BWm10.eps}}
How do I get around this problem? Is it possible to use sub-figure on multiple pages without the caption starting from start on each page?

I have these packages:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{amsfonts}

Thanks
Deo

Hi Deo,

Unfortunately your post is a good example why we are always asking for minimal example documents here.

This one works perfectly well:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\subfloat[Power $-10^0C$.]{\label{cc}\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{BWm10.eps}}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
So all we can do without a proper example document from you showing the problem is either guessing or looking into the crystal ball.

There are more closed braces than open braces here, please check this.

Yes, look for "continued figures" within the subfig package documentation.

Thanks for your reply. That in fact solved the issue.
