[Tex/LaTex] Suppressing figure numbers in wrapfig

captionswrapfigure

Like @brannerchinese here, I'd like to suppress the figure numbers for certain figures, but I'd like to do it within the context of the wrapfig and wrapfigure package/environment.

Being rather new at this, I don't really understand the answer that @GonzaloMedina gave him, so I can't generalize that, but I did try blindly copying and pasting the \newcommand\WLcaption[1]{ (et. al.) into my preamble just in case, and as I guessed, it didn't work (compile failed with error). Also tried \caption*{text} in case that had been implemented for wrapfig but also no joy.

Any ideas on how to do this? I just want a caption for some figures, but no figure numbers.

The following code shows three options, all of them using features provided by the caption package: the first one, uses \caption*; the second one uses \captionsetup to declare the predefined labelformat=empty style to suppress the label; the third option uses \DeclareCaptionLabelFormat to define a caption format without number but keeping the "Figure" label:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{nonumber}{#1}

\begin{document}
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{3cm}
\centering
\rule{2cm}{2cm}
\caption*{Test figure}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{3cm}
\centering
\captionsetup{labelformat=empty}
\rule{2cm}{2cm}
\caption{Test figure}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{3cm}
\centering
\captionsetup{labelformat=nonumber}
\rule{2cm}{2cm}
\caption{Test figure}
\end{wrapfigure}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

You could use the tocloft package; an example:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\newlength{\mylen}

\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{\figurename\enspace}
\renewcommand{\cftfigaftersnum}{:}
\settowidth{\mylen}{\cftfigpresnum\cftfigaftersnum}
\addtolength{\cftfignumwidth}{\mylen}

\begin{document}

\listoffigures
\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{2cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test figure one}
  \label{fig:test1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{2cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test figure two}
  \label{fig:test2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

If you want tocloft to use default LaTeX formatting (so it won't "mess up" for example the layout of your table of contents and so on) you can use the titles option of the package:

\usepackage[titles]{tocloft}

You should use the babel package and set the language to hungarian. This also changes the typesetting rules. If Number Figure is the proper sequence in Hungarian, it should automatically change this. On this (Hungarian) site you can find Babel documentation.

Edit: If you check page 207 of this document is says:

In the part, chapter, appendix name the number (or letter) goes before the name, so ‘Part I’ translates to ‘I. rész’.

The same is true with captions (‘Table 2.1’ goes to ‘2.1. táblázat’).

the command you should use in your preamble is:

\usepackage[hungarian]{babel}

\usepackage[magyar]{babel}
