Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to get LaTeX not to print "Table X" in front of caption?

[brt381]

Hi,

I want to create a caption for my tables using \caption, and to be able to reference the number of a given table from elsewhere (using \label and \ref), but I don't want \caption to put "Table 1:", "Table 2:", etc. in front of the contents of \caption. Is there any way I can disable this?

Thanks!

You need to redefine the name given to a table as nothing. Put this before the \begin{document}

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\tablename}{}

Thanks. This gets rid of "Table", but it still prints the number and the colon. I don't want it to print anything at all (other than the argument to \caption). Is there any way to accomplish this?

Thanks a lot!

Cheers.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[labelformat=empty,labelsep=none]{caption}

Exactly what I wanted! Thank you very much.
