have a look at
http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/~lyx/caption.html#short
A nicer solution is to modify the stdlayouts.inc file (or just the layout file
you use for your document), adding to it the following lines:
---begin-
Style ShortCaption
CopyStyle Caption
LatexName setshortcaption
LabelString "Short Caption:"
LabelType Static
Preamble
\let\oldcaption=\caption
\renewcommand{\caption}[1]{
\ifx \shortcaption \undefined
\oldcaption{#1}
\else
\oldcaption[\shortcaption]{#1}
\fi
}
\newcommand{\setshortcaption}[1]{
\newcommand{\shortcaption}{#1}
}
EndPreamble
End
-end-
Then you can put a short caption paragraph before your caption paragraph.

Figure list entries
I am working with a series of large documents with relatively large numbers of figures and complex captions. In LaTeX the caption command allows for a figure or table list entry and heading argument, the latter the actual caption in the text if it is different from the list entry. My question is, how does one do this within LyX? Or is it not possible. I would like to have short descriptive entries in the List of Figures and longer actual captions. Thanks for any help forthcoming. ||-|| Christopher von Nagy
