Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Changing length of captions for List of Tables and Figures

[templateuser]

Hi Vel,

Currently, the length of the captions displayed in the List of Tables and List of Figures are quite long due to long captions in the thesis body. Is there a way to only have one line displayed, or a shortened version of the caption?

Cheers,
Tanya

Hi Tanya,

Yep, there sure is! The template actually has an example of this for the single figure within it:

Code: Select all

1
\caption[An Electron]{An electron (artist's impression).}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The text in the square brackets is all that is displayed in the List of Figures whereas the longer version that appears under the figure itself goes in the curly brackets.

Cheers,
