General ⇒ Getting latex to output Mathematica code as it's written

[Cham]

As both are designed to do the same job, it would be better for document maintainability to decide for one.

Critical decision to make now, as i know your document is quite advanced. Either investing time and effort now to get everything unified, or hope and trust that everything will work as well in the future.

Ok, then if my present global subfig settup is this :

Code: Select all

\usepackage{subfig}
\captionsetup{figurename=Figure,margin=1cm,format=hang,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={it}}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{margin=0cm,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={up}}
\captionsetup[table]{tablename=Table,labelfont={bf,up}}

how do you suggest that I change it to the subcaption package ?

[Cham]

Since this is vital to me, could you please confirm that this replacement is the proper one ?

Change this code :

Code: Select all

\usepackage{subfig}
\captionsetup{figurename=Figure,margin=1cm,format=hang,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={it}}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{margin=0cm,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={up}}
\captionsetup[table]{tablename=Table,labelfont={bf,up}}

to this new one :

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\captionsetup{figurename=Figure,margin=1cm,format=hang,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={it}}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{margin=0cm,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={up}}
\captionsetup[table]{tablename=Table,labelfont={bf,up}}

Apparently, it works (the output appears to be the same), but I absolutely need to be sure that I don't intruduce some mistakes or new bugs !

EDIT : Arrrgh ! I'm now getting several nag warnings, like this one :

Package nag Warning: \label in float, but not after \caption on input line 1091.

I don't understand this message. Here's the code around line 1091 :

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]
		\centering
		\subfloat[Blabla bla 1.]{
		\includegraphics[height=6cm]{Figures/spirale.pdf}
		\label{a simple label}
		}
		\qquad
		\subfloat[Blabla bla 2.]{
		\includegraphics[height=6cm]{Figures/rosace.pdf}
		\label{another simple label}
		}
		\caption[Blabla bla.]{Blabla bla.}
	\end{figure}

What is wrong ?

[Johannes_B]

The syntax of package subcaption is comletely different, which is what i meant. The styling shouldn't be any problem.


Package subcaption uses a syntax similar to minipages, with an extra caption and an extra label. So chaning really needs a bit of effort. The decision to change the whole document is a serious one.

btw, H provided by package float introduces the Hammer method and completely disables floating. If you don't want graphics and tables to float, and have them at very very special places, you wouldn't need captions at all. You could work with the captionof command. But that might be relevant for your next project.

[Cham]

Please, do you confirm that the captionsetup defined above is the proper change ? (there's no change at all, actually, except the packages called). This surprises me a bit.

[Johannes_B]

I would need a minimal example to confirm that, but since subfig does no styling at all, and all is done by package caption, i think there shouldn't be a problem.


Package subfig and package subcaption define a new counter for subfigures and subtables. Package caption doesn't care a bit who or what defined the counter and hence provides the accompanying caption command.

[Cham]

I checked the syntax of the subcaption package and I don't like it much. It is much less intuitive than subfig. And since I have hundreds of figures, it would be too much work for nothing new.

I would like to see some examples of the conflicts between subfig and hyperref. Can you give some examples and more details about that ?

As i said, this will require quite the effort.

Sorry, nothing specific at the moment, but you can have a look at google -> https://www.google.de/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=wIY ... ef+problem



You can also have a look at a little chat transcript and the comment that egreg left me.

[Johannes_B]

The discussion went a bit off-topic and i am thinking of splitting the thread. It is easier for future visitors.


I just stumbled upon Fanciest way to include Mathematica code in LaTeX, which might be of interest here.
