Text Formatting ⇒ \listoffigures and \listoftables do not change line

[michael_]

Hi,

i have a problem with the \listoffigures and \listoftables commands. In some cases, the caption of the figure/table is too long to fit in a single line. When this happens, these commands do not change line, but continue in the same line ... how can i force them to change line?

thanks

Michael

Hi Michael,

welcome to the board!
The lines should be wrapped. Perhaps the problem is caused by unbreakable hyperlinks. But we would need more information to help, like a short compilable example of your code showing the problem.

Depending on how you are working could help: loading the hypdvips package after hyperref, the breakurl package or the option breaklinks=true of hyperref.

Same problem here. I use MikTex 2.4. I have a project created, eps figures included and I use Latex => PS => PDF profile when I build the project.
Any help or hint would be apreciated

This MWE returns my problem.

Upgrade to version 2.7 of MikTeX. Not problem related, but strongly recommendable.

[...] Depending on how you are working could help: loading the hypdvips package after hyperref, the breakurl package or the option breaklinks=true of hyperref. [...]

As you can see, the solution has already been given with the breaklinks option.
