Hi there,

I'm wondering how to only display certain parts of a caption's text in the
Table of Figures.

For example, in the text the caption might read:

"Figure 1.2: Distance-Time Plot [Jan 17]"

However, in the Table of Figures I do not want the part in the square
brackets to appear (Jan 17)

I want the Table of Figures to look like:

"Figure 1.2: Distance-Time Plot................15"

Is there a good way to do this? One possibility is to just delete the [Jan
17] off the Table of Figures once I know that I'm not going to update it
anymore, but this doesn't seem like the most elegant solution.

Thanks very much,

Andrew
