The following is my MWE, inspired from the answer to this question (where my query seemed to merit a separate question, so here it is!):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{pgf,tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,shapes,calc,intersections,through,backgrounds}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[b]
   \begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,>=triangle 45,x=1cm,y=1cm]           
       % More stuff here - not relevant I think...

  \end{tikzpicture}
   \caption{\label{q}\leavevmode\\\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
         \begin{align*}
            a &= b \\ c &= d
         \end{align*}
      \end{minipage}
   }
\end{figure}
\end{document}

With the above, I'm getting the following error:

! Argument of \@caption has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                \par
l.19    }

I'm not sure how to debug this!

  • It's called \leavevmode, and the second \begin{align*} probably should be an \end{align*} and you need amsmath and don’t forget to include a short version of that (or do you want the equations in the List of Figures?): \caption[A formula]{…}. – Qrrbrbirlbel Aug 24 '13 at 00:57

You don't need \leavevmode or the minipage

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[singlelinecheck=false]{caption}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{pgf,tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,shapes,calc,intersections,through,backgrounds}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[b]
   \begin{tikzpicture}[line cap=round,line join=round,>=triangle 45,x=1cm,y=1cm]           
       % More stuff here - not relevant I think...

  \end{tikzpicture}
   \caption[something]{\label{q}
         \begin{align*}
            a &= b \\ c &= d
        \end{align*}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
