[Tex/LaTex] Justification of captions in List of Figures when using endfloat package

endfloathorizontal alignmenttable of contentstocloft

I am using the endfloat package to place floats on separate pages at the end of the document, and using the caption package for control of caption formatting, but I cannot figure out how to change the justification of captions within the List of Figures created created using endfloat. I have set the caption justification to raggedright, but this does not alter justification in the LoF. Any simple solutions to altering the format in the LoF?

I am calling the packages in the preamble with:

\usepackage[font=doublespacing,justification=raggedright]{caption}
\usepackage[nomarkers,tablesfirst]{endfloat}
\captionsetup{labelsep=none,textformat=empty}

The last declaration being used to suppress captions on the pages with the floats. Could this be solved using the package tocloft?

You don't have to use the tocloft package , but the solution to your problem can be found at page 5 of the tocloft manual: Use \renewcommand{\@tocrmarg}{2.55em plus1fil} in your preamble to set ToC/LoF enries raggedright.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage[font=doublespacing,justification=raggedright]{caption}
\usepackage[nomarkers,tablesfirst]{endfloat}
\captionsetup{labelsep=none,textformat=empty}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\@tocrmarg}{2.55em plus1fil}
\makeatother

\newcommand*{\sometext}{Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer
    adipiscing elit. Ut purus elit, vestibulum ut, placerat ac,
    adipiscing vitae, felis. Curabitur dictum gravida mauris. Nam arcu
    libero, nonummy eget, consectetuer id, vulputate a, magna.}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{\sometext}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Subfig, KOMA script, caption – how to suppress some list of figures entries

I would go with the caption package; using the list=no option you can suppress the entries in the LoF for a particular figure or for a group of figures; using the plain format (for the subfigures) you can achieve the desired format for their captions; an example (if this change should only affect selected subfigures, remove the line \captionsetup[subfigure]{format=plain} from the preamble and include it in the corresponding figure environment(s)):

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,BCOR10mm,DIV11,toc=listof]{scrbook}
\usepackage[caption=false, font=footnotesize, justification=RaggedRight]{subfig}
\usepackage{caption}

\captionsetup[subfigure]{format=plain}

\begin{document}
\listoffigures

\chapter{Test}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{A figure with a caption and its entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
% this particular figure will be numbered and labeled but won't have entry in the LoF
  \captionsetup{list=no}
  \caption{A figure with a caption without entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{Another figure with a caption and its entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
\centering
  \subfloat[text text text  text text text text text text This is left aligned with no indent.]%
  {%
    \label{fig:a}%
    \rule{0.48\linewidth}{0.48\linewidth}
  }%
  \subfloat[text text text  text text text text text text This is left aligned with no indent.]%
  {%
    \label{fig:b}%
    \rule{0.48\linewidth}{0.48\linewidth}
  }%
  \caption[Bla]{A figure with two subfigures}
  \label{fig:example}
\end{figure}

\chapter{Test two}
\captionsetup[figure]{list=no}
% all figures from this point on will be numbered and labeled but won't have entry in the LoF

\begin{figure}
  \caption{A second figure with a caption without entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \caption{A third figure with a caption without entry in the LoF}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Moreover, if it's not too late (there's no deadline involved), I would suggest you to change to the subcaption package instead of subfig.

EDIT: I've added the adjustemnts needed to have the requested format for the subfigure captions.

[Tex/LaTex] Problem about double space in list of figures when using endfloat package

There are three problems in your input.

Redefinitions of code that contains commands with an @ in their names should be surrounded by special commands
```
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\l@figure}[2]{%
  \setlength\@tempdima{2.3em}%
  \noindent\hspace*{1.5em}#1\hfil\newline }
\makeatother
```
Unfortunately the documentation of endfloat doesn't make this very clear.
The code for figures must be properly input with \begin{figure} and \end{figure} on lines by themselves:
```
\begin{figure}[!htp]
<code for the figure>
\caption{The caption}\label{label}
\end{figure}
```
(the \label is optional, of course).
Changing the definition of \baselinestretch is not sufficient, in general for getting increased line space: often the first paragraph will not be spaced. Use
```
\AtBeginDelayedFloats{\linespread{1.4}}
```
