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 message "Runaway argument?" means that LaTeX has found an unmatched brace }. The most likely cause of this error is that you have a missing } somewhere in your document. In your case, the error is probably caused by the \\ command. The \\ command is used to force a newline in a caption. However, it is important to note that the \\ command must be followed by a closing } in order to work properly. To fix this error, simply add a closing } to the end of your caption. For example: 

1
\caption{This is a caption with a forced newline.\\}
After you have added the closing }, the error should disappear.

Output

The error message " \Hy@tempa has an extra } runaway argument" in LaTeX when using `\\` to force a newline in a caption typically occurs due to a syntax issue within the caption text. Here are a few possible causes: 1. **Unbalanced Braces:** Ensure that all opening braces (`{`) have a corresponding closing brace (`}`). Check for any missing or extra braces within the caption text. 2. **Unescaped Special Characters:** LaTeX interprets certain characters, such as `#`, `$`, `%`, and `_`, as special commands. If you intend to use these characters literally, you need to escape them using a backslash (\) before them, e.g., `\#`, `\$`, `\%`, and `\_`. 3. **Nested Environments:** Avoid nesting environments within the caption. For example, if you have a `figure` environment inside the caption, make sure to close it properly before using `\\` to force a newline. To resolve the issue, carefully review your caption text and check for any of the above-mentioned errors. Once you have corrected the syntax, the `\\` command should work as intended for forcing a newline in the caption. Here's an example of a corrected caption with proper syntax: 

1
2
\caption{This is a caption with a forced newline using \\.\\\\
This is the second line of the caption.}

Output

To force a newline in a caption with LaTeX, use `\\*` instead of `\\`. Here's an example: 

1
\caption{This is a caption with a forced newline.\*Second line of caption.}
The `*` in `\\*` tells LaTeX to ignore the extra `}` that would normally be required to end the caption.

Output

To force a newline in a caption with LaTeX, use the `\\` command. However, make sure that you are not using any other commands or environments that may be interfering with the caption. For example, if you are using the `caption` package, you should use the `\caption*` command instead of `\caption` to avoid any potential conflicts. Here is an example of how to use the `\\` command to force a newline in a caption: 

1

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{image.png}
  \caption{This is a caption with a forced newline.\\
    This is the second line of the caption.}
  \label{fig:image}
\end{figure}
This will produce a caption with two lines of text, as shown below: 
1
2
Figure 1: This is a caption with a forced newline.
This is the second line of the caption.

Output

The error occurs when you have an extra } in your caption. Check that all your curly braces are balanced. For example, the following caption will cause the error: 

1
\caption{This is a caption with an extra }. }
To fix the error, remove the extra } from the caption. 
1
\caption{This is a caption with an extra }
