How can I make the caption of the table different from that what shows up in the "List of Tables"
For figures I used the non-float option with: \figcaption[short title for the index]{description for your figures}
I would like exactly the same for a table.
\caption[list entry]{actual caption}macro works the same way, both forfigureand fortable– cgnieder Jun 10 '13 at 18:50
