Subtitle for Figures and Tables
Is it possible to include a subtitle for a figure or table? Ideally, it would be centered and at a slightly smaller font than the main title. The problem is that I have a long table name that is more than one line. The output has the title left-aligned, which does not look quite right. I'd appreciate any help.

You could look at the subfigure package: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ctan/obsolete ... figure.pdf
I think it's possible to use just a single subfigure environment inside your normal figure environment, and then you simply use the subfigure caption for your subtitle

The subfigure package is outdated. Since the subfig package is not maintained any more, the subcaption package from caption is the preferable solution. For current versions please link package names directly to CTAN.Bozack wrote:You could look at the subfigure package: http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ctan/obsolete ... figure.pdf [...]

While I've not tried it yet, the subcaption package seems as though it might do what I need it to do. If it doesn't, I will be back...
