some of the tables and figures i inserted in my paper have quite long captions. Now there are two things i'd like to do:
1. i'd like to set the captions width to the tables/ figures width. Which package do i need and how do I set the captionwidth?
2. is there a way to tell the list of figures/ list of tables to make shorter entries (some of my tables have the source added in brackets, but i don't want this displayed in the list of tables).
have a look at http://www.perce.de/LaTeX/hvfloat/
The package offers what you need.
