When subfigures are added using the package subcaption, the labels generated in the pdf by the showlabels packages are not readable.

The subcaption package is included before showlabels package. How can I correct this?

\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{showlabels}

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.48\linewidth}
        \includegraphics[width=1\linewidth]{plots/membrane/error_H1_rel_1d_100_11_11.pdf}
        \caption{Full RBs}
        \label{fig:membrane_recon_error_full_RB}
    \end{subfigure}
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.48\linewidth}
        \includegraphics[width=1\linewidth]{plots/membrane/error_H1_rel_1d_100_11_7.pdf}
        \caption{Full primal RB and truncated dual RB}
        \label{fig:membrane_recon_error_truncated_RB}
    \end{subfigure}
    \caption{Reconstruction error for points in and outside training set}
    \label{fig:membrane_recon_error}
\end{figure}

    The problem persists even if you replace subfigure with minipage and remove the subcaption package. Alas, \marginpar doesn't work on floats and \marginnotes will overlap itself. Apr 9, 2021 at 12:48

This creates a new environment queuelabels which prevents showlabel from overlapping labels within. It uses the url and marginnote packages to format and print the labels.

Note: it takes two runs for the labels to show up.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{marginnote}
\usepackage{url}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\let\normallabel=\label
\usepackage{showlabels}

\newsavebox{\labelbox}
\newenvironment{queuelabels}{\def\label##1{\normallabel{##1}%
  \global\setbox\labelbox=\vbox{%
    \hsize=\marginparwidth\raggedright
    \ifvoid\labelbox\else \unvbox\labelbox\vskip\baselineskip\fi
    \url{##1}}}}%
 {\dimen0=\ht\labelbox
  \marginnote{\unvbox\labelbox}[-\dimen0]}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
    \begin{queuelabels}
    \centering
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.48\linewidth}
        \includegraphics[width=1\linewidth]{example-image-a}
        \caption{Full RBs}
        \label{fig:membrane_recon_error_full_RB}
    \end{subfigure}
    \begin{subfigure}[t]{0.48\linewidth}
        \includegraphics[width=1\linewidth]{example-image-b}
        \caption{Full primal RB and truncated dual RB}
        \label{fig:membrane_recon_error_truncated_RB}
    \end{subfigure}
    \caption{Reconstruction error for points in and outside training set}
    \label{fig:membrane_recon_error}
    \end{queuelabels}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

  • Thank you for your answer. But I get the following error: [10] Runaway argument? {\@firstoffive }\fi for two cases of full and truncated dual RB. As \ETC. ! Paragraph ended before \Hy@setref@link was complete. <to be read again>

  • \My@setref@link sounds custom. I can't find it being used in any package I have installed. Apr 11, 2021 at 0:33
