Captions

Post by ryllprous »

Everytime I write a caption of a figure or table that occupies more than one line it appears in the document like

Code: Select all

Figure 6.2: Polarization curves at 750C for 3P_{CO}=P_{H_{2}} at the
            initial water concentrations of 3.2, 6.4, 9.6, 15, 20 and 25%.
And I want it to appear like

Code: Select all

Figure 6.2: Polarization curves at 750C for 3P_{CO}=P_{H_{2}} at the
initial water concentrations of 3.2, 6.4, 9.6, 15, 20 and 25%.
What should I do?


Thanks,

Ramon

That is the default behaviour. So something in your document changes it. The best way to find it is to hack down the document to a minimum. See minimal working example for mor information.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
	\rule{3cm}{4cm}
	\caption{\blindtext}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
