Could someone explain how to make captions italic, for both images and tables?
I tried
#show caption: set text(style: "italic")
but this produces an error.
I also tried
#show figure: set text(style: "italic")
but the second solution affects the tables themselves, not just their captions.
Hello,
You can configure the caption component of the figure component to your liking using #show. This affects of course only the captions!
#figure( // Typst default
image("cat.png"),
caption: [This is a cat!]
)
#show figure.caption: set text(style: "italic")
#figure( // Typst default with italic caption
image("cat.png"),
caption: [This is a cat!]
)
The same applies to the tables!
#show figure.caption: set text(style: "italic")
#figure(
table(columns: (8%,) * 10,
..range(100).map(x => ([#(x+1)],)).flatten(),
),
caption: [This is a table!],
)
This is probably one of many solutions, so more compact solutions might exist. But I hope this helps you!
And to create some custom captions, following for example only emphasizes the label:
#show figure.caption: it => {
[#emph[#it.supplement #it.numbering]#it.separator#it.body]
}
