[Tex/LaTex] My table is not conforming to the IEEEtran caption table format

captionsieeetrantables

I have the following code which produces the first attached Table. But as you can see in the table, both the table label and the caption all fall on the same line:

But what I want is a table with the caption format below:

How do I achieve this? Any help will be appreciated.

Best Answer

cause of your problem is package subcaption. do you really need them? if not simple delete it and your problem will disappear
if you need subcaption than you need mimic IEEEtran table caption set up already in document preamble (see mwe below)

off-topic:

resize table to 0.5\textwidth is not good solution. with this the table is wider then text in a column. if you persist to resize table, then: \resizebox{\columnwidth}{!}{....}
instead of resizing is better redesign a table to fit column width (see mwe below)

[Tex/LaTex] Avoiding newline after “Table” in caption while using IEEETran

If allowed to perform such alteration to a paper's documentclass, you should use the caption package to modify the table caption formatting. Try adding

...
\usepackage{caption}% http://ctan.org/pkg/caption
\captionsetup[table]{format=plain,labelformat=simple,labelsep=period}%
...

to your document preamble. If there is a marginal difference between other float captions and the redefinition using the caption package, then you can redefine those ones as well for consistency. There are, in fact, a multitude of other caption formatting options available. Read the package documentation for more details.

[Tex/LaTex] ieeetran caption question

I have mentioned it a few times before but IEEE does not directly use your .tex file. It's there to supply the bare minimal so if it looks like an article it's enough. It doesn't have to be following the standards internally.

They will recode your article with their own terrible terrible workflow, rasterize your images and ruin your math after acceptance. I've been using the following for a couple of years without any issues. It uses subcaption and does a superb job even though it has a command clash due to the redefinitions.

\documentclass[final]{ieeetran}
\usepackage{tikz,lipsum}
\usepackage[labelformat=simple]{subcaption}

% Training subcaption package to comply with
% IEEE standards. We can ignore the warning
% generated by caption.sty which is due to 
% the redefinition of \@makecaption
\DeclareCaptionLabelSeparator{periodspace}{.\quad}
\captionsetup{font=footnotesize,labelsep=periodspace,singlelinecheck=false}
\captionsetup[sub]{font=footnotesize,singlelinecheck=true}
\renewcommand\thesubfigure{(\alph{subfigure})}

\caption{A caption}

\begin{subfigure}[b]{.4\linewidth}

\end{tikzpicture}
\caption{B cap}

\end{subfigure}
\caption{Two figures.}\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

enter image description here

If you only want the caption labels leave the sub \caption{} definitions empty and describe the subfigures in the main caption. If you want to remove also the (a),(b) use \phantomcaption commands as described in the manual.
