Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ Greek letters in figure captions

[templateuser]

Hey Vel,

Great job with the template, it’s beautiful. However, if I use a greek letter in a figure caption I get a failure for the list of figures and if I typeset it again it just doesn’t include the list of figures. It seems to not like greek letters in figure captions. Is there a way around?

So long,
Daniel

Sorry, it’s not only greek letters but the math mode. Thanks

If the symbols or commands used in captions are fragile you need to protect them. Citations, glossary entries and a number of others are vulnerable to this, though I am unsure about math mode . Add \protect before the command that is failing to see if that helps. eg:

Code: Select all

\caption{Description shamelessly lifted from \cite{internet}}

becomes

Code: Select all

\caption{Description shamelessly lifted from \protect\cite{internet}}
