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 due to the fact that LaTeX's `\caption` command is not designed to handle line breaks (`\\`) directly. When you use `\\` in a caption, it can cause issues with the hyperref package, which is often used for creating hyperlinks in documents. To resolve this issue, you can use the `\protect` command before the `\\` to prevent it from being interpreted incorrectly. Here’s how you can do it:

1
\caption{This is the first line of the caption.\protect\\ This is the second line.}
Alternatively, you can use the `\newline` command instead of `\\`:
1
\caption{This is the first line of the caption.\newline This is the second line.}
Both of these methods should prevent the error and allow you to insert a line break in the caption. If you are using the `caption` package, you can also use the `\captionof` command, which provides more flexibility:
1
\captionof{figure}{This is the first line of the caption.\\ This is the second line.}
This approach might also help avoid the error. Remember that forcing line breaks in captions is generally discouraged unless absolutely necessary, as it can disrupt the document's formatting and readability.
