Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments
License type: lppl
Abstract:
The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table and cooperates with many other packages.
Changes: - New option "tableposition=" for use inside \usepackage as abbreviation of \captionsetup[table]{position=...} - Bugfix: spaces are allowed between 2nd and 3rd argument of \DeclareCaptionXXX and between the optional and the mandatory argument of \captionsetup. - Bugfix: \newfloat + \restylefloat* gives correct float names in caption - Bugfix: \captionof after \restylefloat* gives correct caption layout - Improvement: after \newfloat or \restylefloat the right position of the caption is reported to the subfig package - Bugfix: \caption* now works with the KOMA-Script classes, too. - Improvement: \@makecaption is supported now. - Bugfix in \DeclareCaptionFont: brackets where missing so it used to work only with one-token-definitions. - Bugfix in supertabular support: A \par was missing at the beginning of \ST at caption. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/caption Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

caption – Customising captions in floating environments
The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Facilities include rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation.
The package also provides the “caption outside float” facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do.
The package supersedes caption2.
