General ⇒ Need no caption below the figures

[pallav]

I need table of figures at the end of article. All of my figures have their captions. I want not to get the captions of figures at the end of figures rather, I need then in the table of figures.

To get table of figures, I have used

Code: Select all

\listoffigures

and as my captions are long enough, I have used the following in my preamble.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[breaklinks=true]{hyperref}

I am getting the table of figures well. But how to remove the captions below the figs.

[cgnieder]

This is a strange request… you want a list of figures (LoF) but no figure captions?

The standard use of \caption would provide the means for that:

Code: Select all

\caption[this goes in the LoF]{this goes in the caption}

If you leave the mandatory argument empty and only use the optional argument you'll get empty captions and a full LoF.

Thanks you very much. It works good. One thing is that the figure nos. are missing. What to do?

[cgnieder]

What to do?

I can tell you if you provide a minimal working example. There are too many possible interactions by document classes and/or packages that I really don't want to guess.

This is certainly no MWE! Did you even follow the link I provided? The point is to make the document as short as possible, i.e. also delete all unnecessary packages and definitions from the preamble. During that process one quite often finds the source of the problem.

The numbers are missing because you're are using

Code: Select all

\usepackage[labelformat=empty]{caption}

You could change it to labelformat=simple, for example.

Code: Select all

% _this_ is an MWE!
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage[labelformat=simple]{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!htb]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[width=6cm,height=6cm]{mypic.eps}
 \caption[To my family]{}
\end{figure}

\listoffigures

\end{document}

For details please read the documentation of the caption package.

Oh yes. Very sorry. Now everything is ok. Thanks a lot.
