LyX ⇒ How to modify the title of one Figure in the LOF

[Edulis]

Dear all,

I have several figures (and tables) with very long entries. When I add the List of Figures, the titles for these figures result too long. Can I abreviate only the entries of the LOF?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi Edulis,

just use the optional argument of \caption:

Code: Select all

\caption[short title for LOF]{long title for caption in body text}

Thanks a lot, Stephan.

And if in the caption there is any reference? How can you do?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

If the reference is required only in the caption below the figure, use the reference just in the argument in curly braces, and use the caption text in square brackets without the reference, so it doesn't come into the LOF.

If the reference is additionally required in the LOF, use \protect directly before the referencing command.

Stefan
