Hardcoded captionsetup in LATEX breaks journal template #8

Closed ghost closed 7 years ago

ghost commented 7 years ago

Please remove or make choiсe of using \captionsetup in LaTeX.R. The journal rules demand left-jusified captions and centered tables. Your package is the best for rmarkdown -> LaTeX complex tables, but now I have to manually remove \captionsetup lines from .tex file generated.

Can I ask which journal this is?

No problem - http://pleiades.online/en/journal/biobull/ Really the site content is outdated, editors are old mammoths and demand printed manuscript with bilingual bibliography (so only biblatex) formatted strictly as they say. In any case it's more convenient to put \captionsetup at the preamble, IMO. But if your question is a delicate hint at the rareness of this problem, remember that I'm not an editor and don't demanding anything :-), just attract your attention. And again, many thanks for your package! Before it emerging it was easier to make tables in LaTeX manually then understand Hmisc :-))))

I was indeed trying to gauge the rareness of the problem. I might add a caption_position property - would that fix your problem?

Thanks for immediate answer! As I remember there is caption_position option in v2.2, it puts a caption top or bottom. In caption package manual (http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/caption/caption-eng.pdf) there is special option justification (justified by default). But I think adding this option is odd work. OK, maybe it's really uncommon problem to bother you. Now I must write my article ASAP, maybe then I'll try to fork your package and play myself.

hughjonesd commented 7 years ago

I forgot about that. Sounds like a simple answer is to allow caption position to be 'topleft' etc. as well as just 'top' or 'bottom'.

Try github version, see if it works for you.
