LaTeX: insert and edit caption - how it works

To add a caption in LaTeX, you can use the "caption" package. In addition, there are some tricks to customize the look of the caption.

LaTeX: Add caption with caption

In LaTex there is the command "caption" for captions.

• First integrate the package with "\ usepackage {caption}".
• You can now add a caption within a picture, between \ begin {figure} and \ end {figure}.
• Simply use the command \ caption {caption}.
• The caption "Figure X: Caption" then appears below the image.

LaTeX: Adjust captions with caption

• If you specify the "center" option when embedding, captions are always centered: \ usepackage [center] {caption}
• "Figure X:" always precedes the captions. You can adjust this in the document with \ renewcommand {\ figurename} {Fig.}. For example, the abbreviation Abb.
• You can also indent captions with the command: "\ setcapindent {0.3cm}".
