Hey all,
Is it possible to create figures intentionally not in the List of Figures, such as the * environments for sections, subsections, etc? How does one go about doing this? Same question for tables. I still want to have captions.
Thanks

Hi,
you can use an empty optional argument for the \caption command:

Unfortunately, doing that simply results in entries with empty captions in the List of Figures, but they're still there. :\
Thanks

There are two possible solutions by using the caption package.

- Use the \caption* command. This will result in a caption without a label thus without number.
- Switch off the entry for a certain figure or table.
This doesn't generate an entry in the LoF thus the numbering there will be interrupted.
Code: Select all
Code, edit and compile here:\begin{figure}[!ht]\captionsetup{list=no}\centering\rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}\caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}\end{figure}
