In latex when I force a newline in a caption with \\ it gives an error saying \Hy@tempa has an extra } runaway argument?

Output

The error you're encountering is likely due to how LaTeX handles special characters in captions, especially when interacting with the hyperref package (which is commonly used for creating links and bookmarks). To resolve this issue, you can try the following solutions: 1. Use \protect before the \\ command: 

1
2
   \caption{First line \protect\\ Second line}
2. Use \newline instead of \\: 
1
2
   \caption{First line \newline Second line}
3. If you're using the caption package, you can use its built-in line break command: 
1
2
   \caption{First line \\ Second line}
Make sure you've loaded the caption package with: 
1
2
   \usepackage{caption}
4. Use a minipage environment within the caption: 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
   \caption{%
     \begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}
       First line \\
       Second line
     \end{minipage}%
   }
5. If you're using hyperref, you can try disabling it for this specific caption: 
1
2
   \caption{\texorpdfstring{First line \\ Second line}{First line Second line}}
This tells hyperref to use the second argument for the PDF bookmark, which doesn't contain the problematic line break. 6. If you're using the memoir class, you can use its built-in \\ command for captions: 
1
2
3
4
   \captionnamefont{\bfseries}
   \captionstyle[\centering]{\centering}
   \caption{First line \\ Second line}
Try these solutions and see which one works best for your specific LaTeX setup and document class. The first or second option is often the simplest and most widely compatible solution.

Output

The error you're encountering is likely due to a conflict between the caption package and the hyperref package in LaTeX. This issue often arises when you try to use a manual line break (\\) within a caption that's also being processed for hyperlinks. Here are a few ways to resolve this: 1. Use \protect before the line break: \caption{First line \protect\\ Second line} 2. Use \newline instead of \\: \caption{First line \newline Second line} 3. Use the caption package's \captionsetup command to allow line breaks: \usepackage{caption} \captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off} Then in your caption: \caption{First line \\ Second line} 4. If you're using the hyperref package, load it last or use the caption package's compatibility option: \usepackage[hypcap=true]{caption} \usepackage{hyperref} 5. Use a minipage environment: \caption{% \begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth} First line \\ Second line \end{minipage}% } 6. If you're using subcaptions, ensure you're using \subcaption instead of \caption inside subfigure environments. Try these solutions and see which one works best for your specific LaTeX setup. If you're still having issues, you might need to provide more context about your document preamble and the specific caption causing the problem.

Output

This error typically occurs when you try to use a line break (\\) within a caption in LaTeX, especially when you're using the hyperref package. The hyperref package modifies how captions are processed, which can lead to this error. Here are a few ways to resolve this issue: 1. Use \protect before the line break: \caption{First line \protect\\ Second line} 2. Use \newline instead of \\: \caption{First line \newline Second line} 3. Use a minipage environment: \caption{% \begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth} First line \\ Second line \end{minipage} } 4. If you're using the caption package, you can use its \captionsetup command to allow line breaks: \usepackage{caption} \captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off} Then use your caption as normal: \caption{First line \\ Second line} 5. Use \shortstack: \caption{\shortstack[l]{First line \\ Second line}} 6. If you're using hyperref, load it last or use the hypcap package: \usepackage[all]{hypcap} \usepackage{hyperref} Choose the method that works best for your specific situation and document setup. The \protect method is often the simplest and most widely applicable solution.

Output

This error typically occurs when you're using the hyperref package along with captions containing forced line breaks. The hyperref package can sometimes interfere with the way captions handle line breaks. Here are a few ways to resolve this issue: 1. Use \protect before the line break: \caption{First line \protect\\ Second line} 2. Use \newline instead of \\: \caption{First line \newline Second line} 3. Use the caption package and its \captionsetup command: \usepackage{caption} \captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off} \caption{First line \\ Second line} 4. If you're using the hyperref package, try loading it after other packages that might affect captions: \usepackage{...other packages...} \usepackage{hyperref} 5. Use a minipage environment inside the caption: \caption{% \begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth} First line \\ Second line \end{minipage}% } 6. If you're using the subfig package, try using subfigure instead: \usepackage{subcaption} \begin{figure} \centering \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.45\textwidth} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image1} \caption{First line \\ Second line} \end{subfigure} \end{figure} Try these solutions one by one to see which works best for your specific LaTeX setup. If you're still having issues, you might need to provide more context about your document preamble and the specific packages you're using.

Output

The error you're encountering is likely due to how LaTeX handles special characters in captions, especially when hyperref package is involved. The backslash (\) is a special character in LaTeX, and using it in captions can sometimes cause issues. Here are a few ways to resolve this: 1. Use \protect before the newline command: \caption{First line \protect\\ Second line} 2. Use \newline instead of \\: \caption{First line \newline Second line} 3. If you're using the hyperref package, you can try using the optional argument of the caption command: \caption[Short caption]{First line \\ Second line} 4. If you need multiple newlines, you can use \par instead: \caption{First line \par Second line \par Third line} 5. If none of the above work, you can try using a minipage environment: \caption{% \begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth} First line \\ Second line \end{minipage}% } Remember that breaking lines in captions is generally not recommended for typographical reasons. If possible, consider rephrasing your caption to avoid the need for manual line breaks. If you're still having issues, it might be helpful to see more of your LaTeX code, including the document class and packages you're using, as well as the full caption command in context.
