Prevent a part of the caption from appearing in the list of figures

Question

I am using the 'article' class, 'figure' environment.

My captions are divided in two parts:

• the information about the figure
• the credits of the figure (for which I use \textfff{})

In my list of figures, I would like to omit the second part. Would you have a solution, please?

Answer 1

I would use the optional argument of the caption command:

\caption[caption_for_list_of_figures]{full_caption}
