Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Underlined table caption

[Harmont]

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know how to make underlined table caption?

I know that you can do bold but not underlined caption with 'caption' package by:

Code: Select all

1
\usepackage[format=hang,font={small,bf}]{caption}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה

I don't know how to do that with help of 'ccaption' or 'caption2' packages either.

What I basically need is the whole caption (caption name, number, delimiter, title, etc..) positioned to the right side of the page and underlined. But only for table caption and not for listings, figures, etc.

Regards,
Nikita

A quick (and maybe not very polished) example, just to give you an idea:

Run LaTeX here

Note: You may have to make manual line break in captions which go over two or more lines.

For details, of course, refer to the manual of caption package, section 4.

Thanks. It works! For some reason I had old 'caption' docs and didn't know about these directives.

Now that the problem is solved, please be so kind and mark it accordingly as described in Section 3 of the Board Rules.


Best regards and welcome to the board

A notice: sommerfee came up with a solution for correctly breaking text in more-than-one-line captions. So, the code in the solution above:

Code: Select all

1
\DeclareCaptionTextFormat{test}{\small\uline{#1}}
 
 
הההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההההה
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

should be corrected to this:

Code: Select all

\DeclareCaptionTextFormat{test}{\small\expandafter\uline\expandafter{\expandafter#1}}
