Re: TOF, Short Figure Captions?
This was an old question and answer, but I have still not yet understood how it works. If I produce a figure environment in lyx and insert a legend to the figure, which is to long for the TOF, one should according to the answer given below write the tex marked short/long captions in a standard paragraph. But how do I get the (long) caption in my figure environment? Should I run the file first with the long captions without a list of figures, run it again with the tex marked caption under the list of figures and take the list of figures (which has now the short captions) out and add it to the lyx file (all marked in tex)?

Really annoying! What I meant is: use a Standard paragraph and write \caption[My short figure description]{This is a very long figure description that I don't want to show up in the TOF} Now, mark "\caption[", "]{" and "}" as TeX. This is not very pretty, but at least the caption texts can be edited in conveniently. JMarc
Re: TOF, Short Figure Captions?
It doesn't work. If I write "[My short figure description]" at the begining of the caption and mark this as TeX code LyX produces \caption{[My short figure description]This is a very long figure description that I don't want to show up in the TOF} So far it seems I have to export my file as LaTeX and do the editing manually.

TOF, Short Figure Captions?
When doing the caption for my figure floats, I want LyX to generate the following LaTeX code: \caption[My short figure description]{This is a very long figure description that I don't want to show up in the TOF} Is there a way to tell LyX about the "My short figure description" parameter? -- Pedro I.
