I have been using the package subfigure (not subfig) to include figures for quite some time now. Recently I have tried to put an image and a table (booktabs/longtable) together and it is not working. I cannot find any examples of booktabs being used with subfigure. Is this not possible?

Would you please show what you've tried? Notice that a subfigure inside a tabular (or longtable) doesn't make much sense. – egreg Mar 24 '12 at 17:00

Floating figures (including subfigures) are an unbreakable box that LaTeX tries to float to a good position. the content is never broken, longtable is all about breaking things over page boundaries. Within any kind of box, longtable offers no benefits over a standard tabular. – David Carlisle Mar 24 '12 at 17:03
Thanks for the quick response! Here is the code that I have tried. I just guessed it. I have not seen this anywhere. – Subhamoy Sengupta Mar 24 '12 at 17:14

As I said in my initial comment, longtable can do nothing here, just use a normal tabular environment. Otherwise edit a small complete runnable example in to your question and explain what output you expect. – David Carlisle Mar 24 '12 at 17:49
