I am trying to add text to a caption via a sty file.

With the following code: 

\ifthenelse{\equal{#1}{caption}}{%
{Sample Tex \\ Added Here}
}{}%

The style file will add "Sample TexAdded Here" to either the beginning or the end of the caption. However the line return is not processed.

Is there a way to force a line return?

Does it work if you replace \\ with \newline? – Andrew Swann Aug 20 '12 at 11:13
