Figure in List of Tables

Post by maartenvanderdrift »

Guys!
I'm new here, so hello I'm Maarten.

I have a question and I don't know if it's asked earlier:
I found a large table on Internet, which I wanted to include in my LateX-file. So I made a picture of the Table, since making the table in LateX will take a lot of time. But now I want to number the figure as a table, so it has in its caption: "Table 2.3: Table" and I can put it in the List of Tables.

Does anyone has a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Maarten,

welcome to the forum!

Simply use a table environment instead of a figure environment. It works with an image instead of a tabular code too, and you would get the desired result for the caption and the list entry.
