Abstract:
The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table and cooperates with many other packages.
This is mainly a bugfix release of the caption package 3.0. Changes: - Design change: Split package into two parts, caption.sty (package) and caption3.sty (kernel) - New option "name=" - sets float name, for use with \captionsetup[] - New options "figurename=" and "tablename=" - New option "type=" - sets caption type, for use inside floats/environments - Bugfix in sidecap support: \@captype will be defined so \captionsetup[] works for these environments, too - Bugfix 04-08-04: . \abovecaptionskip & \belowcaptionskip will be used for longtables, too . "position=" will be taken into account (default for longtables: "position=top"; "position=auto" will usually not work) - Bugfix 04-10-26: Skips (margin/indention) will only be typeset if set - Bugfix: \captionmargin will be set twice now (left+right of the caption) - Bugfix 04-12-19: \vrule\@height\ht\strutbox\@width\z@ will be used instead of \strut - Bugfix 05-01-23: \@finalstrut\strutbox added - New option "strut=" - switches the use of the struts on/off (default=on) - Bugfix in single-line-check: \captionwidth will be used for the check instead of \hsize = width of the \vbox Thanks for the update.

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.
