General ⇒ How do I split captions to multiple lines?

[jediwhelan]

Hi,

Can someone tell me how to split captions onto multiple lines?

Simply writing // causes an error. Is there something like the \begin{split}...\end{split} command from the math environment?

Many thanks.

Explain exactly what you mean with "split" in this case. Captions normally can be typeset without any problems in multiple lines. For the present take a look at another topic [1]. Perhaps you will find answers there.

[1] View topic - \newline (or equivalent) inside a \caption

Hi,

in this other thread there's a solution. Simply load the caption package (making sure that you have a recent version installed (3.1x)) and then you can safely use \\ to change lines inside captions.
