I took the NIPS 2018 paper template from here, which I can compile (via pdflatex
).
However, when I add this package (before \title
):
\usepackage{caption}
I get the error:
! Package caption Error: No float type 'noticebox' defined.
Why? How can I fix this?
I'm using MacOSX with Texlive 2011.
A reduced example (still using the NIPS style file):
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{nips_2018}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} % allow utf-8 input
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} % use 8-bit T1 fonts
\usepackage{hyperref} % hyperlinks
\usepackage{url} % simple URL typesetting
\usepackage{booktabs} % professional-quality tables
\usepackage{amsfonts} % blackboard math symbols
\usepackage{nicefrac} % compact symbols for 1/2, etc.
\usepackage{microtype} % microtypography
\usepackage{caption}
\title{Foo}
\author{foo}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}
(Maybe this is related. Or this.)
Adding this additional command (inspired via this) solves it, but not sure if that is a good solution, or what it does:
\DeclareCaptionType{noticebox}
Best Answer
You should upgrade your TeX Live distribution.
There is a way to solve the issue, anyhow.
I also loaded
hyperref
last, which is its proper position, notwithstanding what the authors ofnips2018
think.With the
\@ifpackagelater
instruction we only do the patch ifcaption
is pre-2011.
