List of figures without figure numbers

Question

How can I create a List of Figures which has captions and page numbers, but no figure numbers?

Answer 1

The easiest answer is

\begingroup
\renewcommand\numberline[1]{}
\listoffigures
\endgroup

but of course this won't suppress the figure numbers in the captions to the figures.

A more complicated setting with tocloft that allows to better control the appearance is

\usepackage{tocloft}

\renewcommand\cftfigpresnum{\setbox0=\hbox\bgroup}
\renewcommand\cftfigaftersnum{\egroup}
\setlength\cftfignumwidth{0pt}
\setlength\cftfigindent{0pt}

In this way the captions will start flush with the left margin.

Answer 2

As is said by Marco, the easiest method may be to use caption package:

\usepackage[listformat=empty]{caption}

Also, titletoc or tocloft package will help, if you use them to modify contents format.
