[Tex/LaTex] Caption without text below “Figure”

captionsindentation

I have a problem with captions.

I'm new to LaTeX and I don't know English names of "this". I want to have something like:

Figure X.X: bla bla bla bla

            bla bla bla bla

            etc.

and

Figure X.X: bla bla bla bla 

            a) bla bla bla 

            b) bla bla bla

How do I do this?

Best Answer

You can use the caption package with the option format=hang to do this

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[format=hang]{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \rule{20pt}{10pt} %just for demonstration
    \caption{ Here's a long caption, it goes across more than
    one line| the style you describe is called `hanging'.}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Putting an enumerate environment in a caption can be done- see

Using the itemize environment inside a caption

for details.
