[Tex/LaTex] List of Figures and Tables in same page

table of contents

I would like to have my list of figures and my list of tables in the same page. I don't want only one list, the numberings must be independent. Now I have

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,titlepage,headinclude]{scrreprt}

\usepackage[Bjornstrup]{fncychap}
\usepackage{tocbibind}
\newcounter{dummy}
\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\begingroup
\let\clearpage\relax
\listoftables
\endgroup
\end{document}

It works well with the numbering but it preserve two different headings for each list. I would like an output like this in the same page:

List of Figures and Tables

Figure 1 …. Page 4

Figure n …. Page n

Table 1 …. Page 2

Table n …. Page n+1

Best Answer

Here's a solution that uses the titletoc package to help with the formatting.

There are a couple of important things in the code below:

\begingroup
\makeatletter
%\listoffigures
\chapter*{List of Figures and Tables}
\@starttoc{lof}
\let\clearpage\relax
%\listoftables
\@starttoc{lot}
\makeatother
\endgroup

This enables us to use our own title for the combined list of figures and tables by using the \@starttoc command; note that it is used twice, one for each of the lof and lot.

The customization of each entry is achieved using

\titlecontents{figure}
[0pt]                                  % left margin
{\addvspace{.5cm}}%                    % above code (e.g vertical space)
{\contentsmargin{0pt}                  % numbered entry format
    Figure~\thecontentslabel%
    \large}
{\contentsmargin{0pt}\large}           % unnumbered entry format
{\titlerule*[.5pc]{.}\contentspage}    % filler-page format (e.g dots)
%[\addvspace{.5pc}]

You can tweak this as you see fit.

% arara: pdflatex
% arara: pdflatex
% !arara: indent: {overwrite: on}
\documentclass[12pt,twoside,titlepage,headinclude]{scrreprt}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\titlecontents{table}
[0pt]                                  % left margin
{\addvspace{.5cm}}%                    % above code (e.g vertical space)
{\contentsmargin{0pt}                  % numbered entry format
    Table~\thecontentslabel%
    \large}
{\contentsmargin{0pt}\large}           % unnumbered entry format
{\titlerule*[.5pc]{.}\contentspage}    % filler-page format (e.g dots)
%[\addvspace{.5pc}]                    % below code (e.g vertical space)

\titlecontents{figure}
[0pt]                                  % left margin
{\addvspace{.5cm}}%                    % above code (e.g vertical space)
{\contentsmargin{0pt}                  % numbered entry format
    Figure~\thecontentslabel%
    \large}
{\contentsmargin{0pt}\large}           % unnumbered entry format
{\titlerule*[.5pc]{.}\contentspage}    % filler-page format (e.g dots)
%[\addvspace{.5pc}]                    % below code (e.g vertical space)


\begin{document}

\begingroup
\makeatletter
%\listoffigures
\chapter*{List of Figures and Tables}
\@starttoc{lof}
\let\clearpage\relax
%\listoftables
\@starttoc{lot}
\makeatother
\endgroup

\newcount\tmp
\tmp=0
\loop
\advance\tmp by 1
\begin{table}[!htb]\caption{}\end{table}
\begin{figure}[!htb]\caption{}\end{figure}
\ifnum\tmp<5 \repeat

[Tex/LaTex] Latex escape interrupts frame of listing

The framed or mdframed packages allow you to put text in frames. Here's a way to do what you want with mdframed.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{extendedchars=true,
    tabsize=3,
    frame=none,
    showspaces=false,
    boxpos=c,
    float=h,
    escapechar=\%
}
\usepackage[style=1]{mdframed}
\newcounter{boxctr}
\DeclareCaptionType{boxx}
\usepackage{needspace}
\newenvironment{Boxx}[2]{%
  \captionsetup{type=boxx}
  \begin{mdframed}[%
    linewidth=1pt,
    roundcorner=10pt,%
    leftmargin=.05\textwidth,
    rightmargin=.05\textwidth,
    skipabove=.7\baselineskip]%
    \refstepcounter{boxctr}%
    \label{#1}%
    \gdef\boxxcaption{\caption{#2}}
    \needspace{2\baselineskip}
  }{%
  \end{mdframed}%
  \boxxcaption%
}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
This is a reference to Box~\ref{box:one}!
\vspace{1.5cm}
\lipsum[1-4]
\begin{Boxx}{box:one}{This is a caption}
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item One
  \item Two
  \item Three
  \end{enumerate}
\end{Boxx}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{Boxx}{box:two}{This is also a caption}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    Also works with listings

    \foo is escaped!
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{Boxx}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}

Boxes take two extra arguments: a label and a caption, just like the environment defined in the question. They use the caption package's captioning magic. So this should make doing lists of boxes easier. The label should stick with the bottom of the box now. This might lead to some ugly whitespace, but other than making the boxes float, this is probably as good as it gets.

[Tex/LaTex] Remove blank page between list of figures and list of tables

I assume you are using a documentclass like book which implicitly contains the option openright as default, which in turn makes every chapter (and everything like a chapter, i.e. \listoffigures) start on a right page.

The command \cleardoublepage which is used internally will insert an empty page if neccessary to start a new right page.

On `\nopagebreak[0]`

\nopagebreak is not a very useful command in LaTeX. Don't use it; it will make your document markup inelegant.

Incidentally, the version \nopagebreak[0] you've been using has almost no effect at all; it might even create a new page breaking possibility where none used to be before.

But even the strongest version \nopagebreak (without option) would have no effect here as it can't counteract the explicit \cleardoublepage used to insert the blank page.

No blank pages

If you never want a blank page inserted in front of a chapter(-like thing) to make it start in a right page, the answer is easy: Add the option openany to the book class like this:

\documentclass[openany]{book}

Avoid blank page only for `\listoffigures`/`\listoftables`

If you want to avoid the inserting of blank pages only for \listoffigures and \listoftables, you can achieve this by locally redefining \cleardoublepage to just mean \clearpage:

{\listoffigures \let\cleardoublepage\clearpage \listoftables}
