I am writing my dissertation and I am having a problem with the \listoffigures. I have 50 more graphs with usually very long captions (close to half a page in double spacing). In the list of figures, when the caption of one figure cannot fit entirely before reaching the bottom of a page, it creates a page break and the caption is displayed on the next page. Since I have many long captions, the list of figures takes more that 15 pages with a lot of white space. That's a big waste of paper and really inefficient. I cannot use the short caption functionality as a requirement is to have the same caption text in the list of figures that at the bottom of each figure.
I hope there is a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my code:
Code: Select all
\documentclass[letterpaper, 12pt, oneside]{book}
\begin{document}
\listoffigures \newpage
\begin{figure}[h]
\rule{3cm}{4cm}
\caption{Very long caption.}\label{fig1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[h]
\rule{3cm}{4cm}
\caption{Very long caption.}\label{fig2}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
