<h3>The style of captions</h3>
<p/>Changes to the style of captions may be made by redefining the commands
that produce the caption. 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.
