Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ sidecap | Figure Numbering

[fcc]

Hi,

everybody wants to number figures and tables. Not me. It's easy in the figure environment. Just use an asterisk:

Code: Select all

\caption*{your text}

Unfortunately this does not work in the SCfigure environment, as defined by sidecap. Both the LaTeX from TeX Live and the one found in Fedora 10 do not complete the PDFLaTeX command. My exact code is:

Code: Select all

\begin{SCfigure}
 \includegraphics[height=7cm]{myfigure.jpg}
 \caption*{\emph{mycaption.}}
\end{SCfigure}

Did someone notice (and solved) the problem?

Thank you!

Using \caption* inside an SCfigure is working fine here, using the latest caption package 3.1j:

Code: Select all

\listfiles
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage[textfont=it]{caption}
\usepackage{sidecap}
\begin{document}
\begin{SCfigure}
\includegraphics[height=7cm]{myfigure.jpg}
\caption*{mycaption.}
\end{SCfigure}
\end{document}

Danke vielmals!
I upgraded my package and I have seen that you are right.
