Good morning,
I have been searching the archives for the following problem:
yan> How can I specify a shorter description to appear in the table of
yan> figures list, if the caption in the caption environment is too
yan> long to be useful? I think this can be done easily in latex, but
yan> can't see any documentation as to how it can be done in lyx.
and saw the reply from Jean-Marc:
This is not possible currently... The only way is to type in a
standard paragraph
\caption[short caption]{long caption}
where \caption and the brackets are marked as TeX.
Could someone please be a bit more detailed as to what I need to do since I
keep getting error messages in Lyx 1.4.4 (Windows)?
I am trying to specify short and long captions for a figure inside a float.
I first place a float, then insert the graph and a label in Lyx, and where
do I have to put the the caption line now? Putting it into a new paragraph
does not seem to work and putting it into the float does not seem to work
either. I am guessing I am overlooking something...
Cheers,
hinrich d8-)
