| Sep 14, 2015 at 15:48 | comment | added | dtldarek | @PeterShor Although Drew did misunderstand me, his suggestion is still useful—I could make a separate list of figures and list of examples, and then the diagrams that provide examples include in the latter rather than former. Currently I don't have enough figures and examples to consider two separate lists (thus probably I will follow your suggestion), but it makes a lot of sense to me, it exactly sorts out the lack of precision I was concerned about. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 15:26 | comment | added | Peter Shor | Read the OP more carefully. I quote "I use special short versions of captions for the list of figures." Short captions for the LOF is what the question is about, not cross-references in the text. | |
| Sep 14, 2015 at 15:16 | comment | added | Drew | @PaterShor: I did not, nor did the OP, mention a List of Figures. Nor did I mention inclusion of page numbers in cross references, though that is useful and common. An LOF typically has links to the figures, and it lists all of these for each figure: (1) figure label /number (e.g. 8-4, for the fourth figure of chapter 8), (2) figure title (e.g., Matching Directed Bipartite Graph), and (3) page number (e.g., 23-14), if the document has pages. Similarly, for a List of Examples, List of Tables, etc. | |
