Re: [O] [LaTeX Export] Question: How to import a really long caption in #+CAPTION:

[Sunny Srivastava]

Hi Thomas;

Your solution is exactly what I want.

I am sorry, I was talking about the line break in the Emacs buffer. 

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,
S.

Aloha Sunny,

I can't tell from your post what problem you've run into.  I can export
long captions without problems, e.g.:

#+CAPTION: [Polynesian colonization of Hawai`i]{Posterior probability
 for Polynesian colonization of Hawai`i: \textit{left}, estimate based
 on inequality (\ref{eq:no-rat}), with a 95\% highest posterior density
 region of AD 810--1289; \textit{right}, estimate based on inequality (\ref{eq:rat}), with a 95\% highest posterior density region of AD 780--1119.}

This all resides in one line in the org-mode file.  Why does your
caption need a line break?

All the best,
Tom
