How to prevent the text in the list of figures to be too long
zavud opened this issue · comments
I add a title and text explaining the figure when I add a figure to a pdf output.
For example, when I do:
```{r, fig.cap="I want this sentence to appear in list of figures section of the output pdf. But I do not want any sentences after the first one to appear there. But I still want all sentences to appear under the figure in the output."}
knitr::include_graphics("somefigure.pdf")
The whole sentence will go to the list of figures section. This is a dummy example and I have much longer texts that I have to write in the fig.cap="". Is there a way to fix this? :)
Yup -- just use the chunk option fig.scap for the alternative caption that you want shown in the list of figures.
