captionscitingnatbib
Is it somehow possible to put a citation including page specification, as in \cite[page]{book}, inside the list-of-figures-relevant caption of a figure, i.e. \caption[*HERE*]{...}?
I can do
\caption[\protect\cite{book}]{other text}
but
\caption[\protect\cite[page]{book}]{other text}
yields book] other text as the caption in the first run and produces an error "Argument of \NAT@@cite has an extra }" in the second LaTeX run.
I'm using pdfLaTeX and natbib.
I'd just put the caption in a [b] figure and the image in a [p] the caption figure will float until there is room for the caption at the bottom if the page, and at the following page break the pending p float will necessarily be output. (I'd never use afterpage: I know who wrote it:-)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum,graphicx}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-11]
\begin{figure}[b]
\caption[Some rather long caption]{\lipsum*[2]}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[p]
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=.999\textheight]{example-image}% La
\end{figure}
\lipsum[12-20]
\end{document}
Adding the sorting=none option to biblatex seems to resolve your issue:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english, italian]{babel}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\usepackage[autostyle,italian=guillemets]{csquotes}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[bibstyle=numeric, backend=biber, hyperref,sorting=none]{biblatex}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\allsectionsfont{\centering}
\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}
\usepackage{notoccite}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}

@book{glic,

\end{filecontents}

The scanning of an optional argument (in brackets,
[and]) works in a slight different way than the scanning of a mandatory argument (in braces,{and}); TeX counts the braces, but doesn't do the same for brackets. So, with your input, the optional argument that is seen isthat is, everything from
[to the first](which is balanced with respect to braces). In order to avoid this problem, brackets inside an optional argument must be "masked" with braces:The argument cannot have unbalanced braces, so the bracket after
pagedoesn't end it, in this case.
