I'm coming to the end of my thesis, and have decided to include \listoftables
and \listoffigures
within my document. However, according to wikibooks:
Problems with long caption and
\listoffigures
or long titleThere is an issue when using
\listoffigures
withhyperref
for long captions or long titles. This happens when the captions (or the titles) are longer than the page width about 7-9 words depending on your settings). To fix this, you need to use the option breaklinks when first declaring:\usepackage[breaklinks]{hyperref}
This will then cause the links in the
\listoffigures
to word wrap properly.
When using this option, I presented with a warning telling me that I have enabled this option. Is there a way to stop \listoffigures
and \listoftables
producing a number of bad boxes (overfull hbox) without introducing this warning?
\caption[lof/lot entry]{rather long descriptive title in the document}
. This helps at first.
