Justification of figure captions #16

Closed mquevill closed 2 years ago

mquevill commented 2 years ago

According to the author resources, figure captions should be justified. Since the style doesn't use the proper caption package, using \captionsetup{justification=justified} does not seem to work. Even the table notes in threeparttable are justified, so the figure captions look even more out of place.

Is there a way to manually force this justification? Or would it need to be applied to the .cls file?

I modified the following line by removing the \centering, which gives me the desired effect. https://github.com/ndlib/nddiss/blob/6bea0492953f0a8ddf5d8e64980f4d03ca05060e/nddiss2e.cls#L665

I would argue that Table "captions" should still be centered, since they are formatted like chapter headings.

I've often wondered if it is possible to use the caption package? But that seems like a complete rewrite of the whole style to use modern packages for everything.
