I'm using longtable. But the caption is too short that it splits up my 12 word caption into two lines centered, only 1/3 of the table width.
I would like to show the caption in one line. Any advice?
Below is my code:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{landscape}
\setlength\LTleft{-40pt}
\setlength\LTright{-40pt}
\begin{longtable}{@{\extracolsep{\fill}}llllllllll@{}}
\caption{Why My Caption is Squeezed Here Can I Make The Length Longer?}\\
\hline\hline
Short Name & Full Name & Source \\
\hline
\\
\hline
\end{longtable}
\end{landscape}
\end{document}

Add
to your code, right after (or before) setting
\LTleft
and\LTright
.Background: As opposite to the regular
\caption
the one fromlongtable
is limited to the width\LTcapwidth
. When using in portrait mode, the default value is quite reasonable, but too short in landscape mode.Complete example document:
Shameless self-advertisement: Adding
\usepackage{caption}
would have solved the issue, too, since it ignores\LTcapwidth
(unless set to a specific value).
