Customisation of longtable caption












2














I have to change the caption style of a longtable to obtain the same style of a normal table;



i.e. to get:



enter image description here,



instead of:



enter image description here.



In addition, I'd like to reduce the size of the longtable without changing the dimensions of the caption. I found some solutions that in the case of my document give me errors.



Any idea? Thanks.



Example:



documentclass[12pt,twoside,cucitura,oldstyle,autoretitolo,classica,greek]{toptesi}
usepackage[or]{teubner}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{array}

Please clarify what you mean by "I'd like to resize the longtable without changing the dimensions of the caption."

I have to reduce the size only of the table. I'm using Overleaf.

I still don't understand what you mean by "I have to reduce the size only of the table." Are you talking about the horizontal dimension, the vertical dimension, both, or neither?

The toptesi document class file and the associated file toptesi.sty redefine the properties of the caption command. Unfortunately, they do so in a way that fails to modify the default properties of the caption command that's provided by the longtable environment (and which, AFAICT, mostly replicates the properties of the caption command provided by the "standard" LaTeX document classes, such as article and report).



Rather than hack the code provided by longtable.sty, I suggest you load the caption package and issue the following instructions in the preamble:



usepackage{caption}
DeclareCaptionLabelSeparator{toptesi}{.quad}
captionsetup{labelsep=toptesi,font=small}

  • This solution works but returns some warnings (i.e. Package caption Warning: Unsupported document class (or package) detected, usage of the caption package is not recommended. See the caption package documentation for explanation.)

  • @MiKaEl - It's a warning message, not an error message. Anyway, if you look at the code in toptesi.sty, you'll see that the document class takes care not to interfere with the caption package.

  • You are right, thanks. Just to know, it gives also this type of warning message: Appendices/AppendixC/AppendixC.tex, line 200 Float too large for page by 0.59935pt on input line 200. . I use latex a lot, but only with easier online compilers; so I do not have a rigorous preparation. I hope these warning messages do not conflict with other parts of the document.

    @MiKaEl - I assume that by "smaller", you mean "occupy less vertical space". scalebox only works with objects that are confined to a single page; hence, it cannot work with a longtable environment. Try (a) placing the longtable inside a begingroup and endgroup pair of statements, and (b) inserting the directive renecommandarraystretch{0.99}.
