I have a Table of Figures and my university style guidelines recommend only using the first sentence of a figure’s caption for each entry, instead of the entire caption (if it is long). Also, they want source information removed:
Restrict lengthy figure captions to three lines, and omit sources and
descriptions of a figure’s different parts. Usually, ending a caption at the first
period will suffice.
I have looked around and I can’t find a way to designate an alternative description or label for the figure that only shows up in the Table of Figures.
Any ideas?
Edit: I’m using version 6.4.7.2
