Hi,
some of the tables and figures i inserted in my paper have quite long captions. Now there are two things i'd like to do:
1. i'd like to set the captions width to the tables/ figures width. Which package do i need and how do I set the captionwidth?
1. Make a figure/table float as usual. 2. Put a minipage with the desired width in the float. (Make sure the minipage is inserted in "normal text", not "caption" text) 3. Put your figure/table and the caption text inside the minipage. Overly long captions will now break to that width.
This use of minipages also lets you put several figures besides each other (or above each other) in the same float. This because you may have one caption per minipage. Nice if you have thin figures or figures that belong together.
