So, for example, <code>\</code><code>fnum@figure</code> (which +produces the float number for figure floats) may be redefined, in a +package of your own, or between +<a href="FAQ-atsigns.html"><code>\</code><code>makeatletter</code>–<code>\</code><code>makeatother</code></a>: +<blockquote> +<pre> +\renewcommand{\fnum@figure}{\textbf{Fig.~\thefigure}} +</pre> + +</blockquote><p> +which will cause the number to be typeset in bold face. (Note that +the original definition used +<a href="FAQ-fixnam.html"><code>\</code><code>figurename</code></a>.) More elaborate changes can be +made by patching the <code>\</code><code>caption</code> command, but since there are +packages to do the job, such changes (which can get rather tricky) +aren’t recommended for ordinary users. +<p/>The <i>float</i> package provides some control of the appearance of +captions, though it’s principally designed for the creation of +non-standard floats. The <i>caption</i> and <i>ccaption</i> +(note the double “<em>c</em>”) packages provide a range of different +formatting options. +<p/><i>ccaption</i> also provides ‘continuation’ captions and captions +that can be placed outside of float environments. The (very simple) +<i>capt-of</i> package also allows captions outside a float +environment. Note that care is needed when doing things that assume +the sequence of floats (as in continuation captions), or potentially +mix non-floating captions with floating ones. +<p/>The <i>memoir</i> class includes the facilities of the +<i>ccaption</i> package; the <i>KOMA-script</i> classes also +provide a wide range of caption-formatting commands. +<p/>The documentation of <i>caption</i> is available by processing a +file <i>manual.tex</i>, which is created when you unpack +<i>caption.dtx</i> +<p/>Note that the previously-recommended package <i>caption2</i> has +now been overtaken again by <i>caption</i>; however, +<i>caption2</i> remains available for use in older documents. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>caption.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption.zip">macros/latex/contrib/caption</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>capt-of.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/misc/capt-of.sty">macros/latex/contrib/misc/capt-of.sty</a> +<dt><tt><i>ccaption.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ccaption.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ccaption</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ccaption.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ccaption/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>float.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float.zip">macros/latex/contrib/float</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>KOMA script bundle</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.zip">macros/latex/contrib/koma-script</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>memoir.cls</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.zip">macros/latex/contrib/memoir</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=captsty">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=captsty</a> +</body> |
