General ⇒ Trouble with /listoffigures

[roja]

Hi,

I am having a bit of a problem with the listoffigures command. It is correctly capturing all of the relevent figures however some of the captions of the figures are rather large (more so than the page size) and this appears to be causing problems for the listoffigues as it not word-wrapping the text. Is there any advice anyone can give me about how to force it to begin wrapping properly?


Regards

Are you using the hyperref package? If so, remember to use the breaklinks=true option:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[breaklinks=true]{hyperref}

Thankyou so very very much

Hi again,

I am still having a bit of trouble with my list of features as far as hyperref goes. Word wrapping is now totaly fixed but it's placing rather odd hot-spots arround the place... Does anyone have any idea? I have included a picture to give an idea dispite my inabilities to explain the problem further.

You should give your figures a shorter caption by using an optional argument.

Code: Select all

\caption[Short caption]{Full caption}

That may solve the problem.

Hi,

Im having the same problem of the TOC, LOF and LOT not word wrapping and Im not using the hyperref package. Is there a way to correct this without the hyperref package?

Cheers

Are you using one of the standard LaTeX classes? Can you please give some more information about your document? It would be better if you could post a minimal working example of your problem.

I am using LEd and this is only a recent problem, could it be due to one of the packages?

This is not a MWE, because you are the only one who has all the files given in the \include commands. So the described behaviour is not reproducible and your code is nearly useless. My only idea is to add some commands to your preamble.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}                % Enable Cork Encoding
\usepackage[english]{babel}             % Useful even when writing in English

More explanations to the babel package can be found in its documentation.

Sorry guys, here is a mwe and an image of the problem.
