How to split a long figure caption to multiple line? Using \\ doesn't work.
\begin{figure}[H]
\includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{x.jpg}
\caption{line 1...
line 2...
line 3...}
\label{fig1}
\end{figure}

Instead of using a floating environment which can't handle page breaks you can use a simple list environment. To set a caption you can use the command \captionof. The command is provided by
- the package
capt-of, - the package
captionor - a KOMA-Class
scrreprt,scrbookandscrartcl
Here an example
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\usepackage{capt-of}
\begin{document}
\kant[1-2]
\noindent\hrulefill
\begin{center}
\rule{3cm}{3cm}
\captionof{figure}[short caption]{%
\kant[4-6]}
\end{center}
\noindent\hrulefill
\kant[1]
\end{document}
Her's one possibility using the caption package; using the width key you can assign a predefined width (0.8\textwidth in my example):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{figure}
\captionsetup{width=0.8\textwidth}
\centering
A Figure
\caption{\protect\lipsum[4]}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
You can also make this a global setting using \captionsetup in the preamble.
Another option is to use the floatrow package; here's a little example using \FBwidth to make the caption width equal to the figure width:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{figure}
\ffigbox[\FBwidth]
{\caption{\protect\lipsum[4]}}
{\includegraphics{image}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
The demo option for graphicx simply replaces actual figures with black rectangles; do not use that option in your actual document.
