I am trying to define captions in longtable enviroment. According to Adding a caption to a graphic inside a longtable I should define:

\makeatletter
\def\figcaption{%
     \refstepcounter{figure}%
     \@dblarg{\@caption{figure}}}
\makeatother

and then use 

 \figcaption{my caption}

However defining \figcaption produce the following error in texstudio: "Illegal parameter number in definition of \figcaption." I think there is a conflict with some package... maybe hyperref ? What can I do?

EDIT

Thanks to David Carlisle there was a missing '}' However, corrected the definition, and adding 

\figcaption{lol}

after

\includegraphics[keepaspectratio,width=0.1\linewidth]{image}

gives a new errors: You can't use `\hrule' here except with leaders. \figcaption{lol} Missing number, treated as zero. \figcaption{lol} Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). \figcaption{lol} Missing \endgroup inserted. \figcaption{lol} ....

What happened??

    Please provide a full MWE that generates the problem behavior you're looking to fix. Please be sure to state which TeX distribution you use, which packages you load, and a minimal longtable environment that contains a \figcaption statement.

  • Your sample definition is missing a closing } it has four { and only three }

I solved the problem: the trick is use \parbox{..} e.g.:

\parbox{5cm}{
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node[anchor=south west,inner sep=0] (image) at (0,0) { \includegraphics[scale=0.8]{image} };
\end{tikzpicture}
\figcaption{label: lol.}}
