General ⇒ Using multibib in caption of figure returns error

[benowar]

I am using multibib and defined a new \cite command called \citewww. Now, if I want to use \citewww in a caption of a figure, I get this error:

"Use of \@citex doesnt match this definition"

Using \cite works. Is there any way to get my new cite command to work in \caption?

Thanks,
Ben

PS: Figure looks like this

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
	\centering
		\includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{images/foo.png}
	\caption{Foo \textit{Bar} (from \citewww{source})} 
	\label{fig:foo}
\end{figure}

Check the code of your newly defined command. Probably a short form of the caption could be helpful.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{images/foo.png}
  \caption[Foo \textit{Bar}]{Foo \textit{Bar} (from \citewww{source})}\label{fig:foo}
\end{figure}

Note that the \caption command is expanding, because its argument also appears in the list of figures (LoF). And so the citation does. But this is not needed. The short form makes the citation not appear in the LoF. So you maybe could avoid the reported error.

Thanks, your code example solves the issue for me!
