Reference Section

## Name

latex.caption.swapskip — Improved typesetting of captions

## Synopsis

    <xsl:param name="latex.caption.swapskip">1</xsl:param>

## A. Description

DB2LaTeX supports $formal.title.placement as a mechanism for choosing whether captions will appear above or below the objects they describe. However, LaTeX will often produce an ugly result when captions occur above their corresponding content. This usually arises because of unsuitable \abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip.

This variable, when set to '1', authorises DB2LaTeX to swap the caption 'skip' lengths when a caption is placed above its corresponding content. This is enabled by default.

## G. Uses

Documented templates that use this parameter:

- title|subtitle (in caption.mode mode)
- generate.latex.common.preamble
