Graphics, Figures & Tables

Hi All,

I have a document with several multi-page longtables. I would like to use the \listoftables command to create a listing of these tables at the start of the document. Unfortunately, when I do so it creates multiple listings for each table for each of the pages that it's on. How do I get listoftables to display only the first page of the table?

Thanks!

Use \caption{...} in \endfirsthead section and \caption[]{...} in \endhead section of the longtable, so no entry in the list-of-tables will be generated after the first table page.

See also section 3 of the longtable package documentation.
