LyX ⇒ Removing captions from LoF

[ChrisK]

How do I remove the figure captions from the list of figures? I have searched endlessly for the answer and am at my wits end! Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean. So I'd say that you just should prevent the LoF from printing by removing it. Since I'm not familiar with LyX, I can't tell you how to do that. But perhaps the LyX Wiki can do so.

Just to clarify, I do want the list of figure titles to appear in the Table of Figures. I just want the figure captions underneath these titles to disappear from the same Table of Figures. How do I do this?

If I understood your question correctly, you could try something like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{caption}

\newcommand\mycaption[1]{%
  \caption[\figurename\ \thefigure]{#1}}

\begin{document}
\listoffigures

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{4cm}{2cm}
  \mycaption{Test figure 1.}
  \label{fig:test1}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{4cm}{2cm}
  \mycaption{Test figure 2.}
  \label{fig:test2}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{4cm}{2cm}
  \mycaption{Test figure 3.}
  \label{fig:test3}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Disclaimer: I have no idea how to implement my idea using LyX.

But how would this be accomplished using Lyx?
