How To make Short Legends: \caption[short]{long} ??

Post by pooz »

Hi,

is it possible to print shorter versions of figure names in the "list of figures", than actually used below the figures?

That means:
I want to do the Latex-Command:

Code: Select all

\caption[short]{long}
in Lyx. But How?

Thank you for your help!!!
(It is very urgent :shock: )

Just right-click on the word "Figure" (or in the front of figure's name) and select "Insert Short Title" (or from menu: Insert > Short Title).
