General ⇒ how to prevent frame from overlapping caption in SHOWEXPL ?

[latexian]

Hi all,

I got very bad caption when using LTXexample in conjuction with its caption option.

Here is the minimal code snippet.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt]{article} % Because the minimal class does NOT define figure environment I use article class instead. 

\usepackage{showexpl}
\lstset{%necessary settings
	explpreset={},
	breaklines=true,				
	frame=single,		
	numbers=left,pos=b}



\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}[caption={Using lstlisting. No problem in caption.}]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
\end{lstlisting}
\vspace{1cm}
\begin{LTXexample}[caption={Using LTXexample. Caption looks ugly.}]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. 
\end{LTXexample}

\end{document}

Please help me to handle it.

Note : only above caption has this problem, bottom caption works well.

Thank you in advance.

regards,

LATEXIAN

Hi,

you can set an appropriate value for aboveskip:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showexpl}

\lstset{%necessary settings
   explpreset={},
   breaklines=true,            
   frame=single,      
   numbers=left,
   pos=b
}
   
\begin{document}

\begin{lstlisting}[caption={Using lstlisting. No problem in caption.}]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
\end{lstlisting}
\vspace{1cm}
\begin{LTXexample}[caption={Using \texttt{aboveskip} fixs the problem.},frame=single,aboveskip=9pt]
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
\end{LTXexample}

\end{document}

@gmedina,

Thank for your reply.

You solved it! Great!

By inspection, I think that \fboxsep is the minimum value for aboveskip such that the frame and caption do NOT overlap each other.
