I'm looking to add a note after my List of Figures heading, but before the actual list. The desired output would be:

List of Figures

A short note about image credits.

2.1 Figure
3.4 Figure
3.5 Figure
...

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}


\begin{document}


\listoffigures


\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image-golden}
\caption{\label{mylabel}
A lovely box.}
\end{figure}


\end{document}

    As always on the site please provide a full but minimal self contained example shuch that others can test your code and play with it as is. tocloft does seem to provide hooks to add this sort of information – daleif Mar 26 '21 at 14:18

tocloft does support hooks like this

\renewcommand\cftlofprehook{A short note about image credits.\par\medskip}

See \cftZprehook in the manual. The ...prehook is execuited right before the list and ...posthook right after it.

  • Do I need to import a package? I'm getting command undefined. Also added an MWE if that helps. – T. Arboreus Mar 26 '21 at 15:07
  • OK, figured out to \usepackage{tocloft} and it does work, though now I don't get a page break before my figures. But I can put that back in manually. – T. Arboreus Mar 26 '21 at 15:12

    @T.Arboreus I thought you mentioned you were alrady using tocloft, now you see why we always ask for code. There are normally no forced page break before LOF and friends. – daleif Mar 26 '21 at 15:16
