I am migrating from subfig to subcaption package and wondering how to make the following thing. The subcaption labels in floats should look like a single italic letter in brackets (a), and \subref{f:a} should give (a). At the same time, I would like \ref{f:a} to give me 1, a, i.e. \thefigure,~\thesubfigure. By default \ref{} gives 1a.

The code

\renewcommand*\subcaption@ref[2]{(\ref#1{sub@#2})}
\DeclareCaptionSubType[asbuk]{figure}
\renewcommand\thesubfigure{\textit{\asbuk{subfigure}}}

gives exactly what I want, except for the "comma and space" separator in \refs. Is there any macro in caption or subcaption package to redefine this separator?

You can redefine \p@subfigure. For an example code see Error using russian letters for appendix counter with hyperref and subfig

Addendum:

Please note that your method of patching the internal macro \subcaption@ref will not work with the upcoming version 1.1 of the subcaption package. See above link for patching \subref in a better way. (BTW: Version 1.1 will offer \captionsetup{subrefformat=parens} so patching is not needed anymore, furthermore the parenthesis will be part of the hyperlink then.)

  • @Axel, it took me awhile to figure out what part of that answer you are referring to. Would you quote it? (\makeatletter ...) – Justin Bailey Oct 03 '11 at 21:33
  • @Justin: This depends on what part of the question you are referring to. The extra parentheses will be setup by the option subrefformat=parens, the custom format of \ref will be setup by the redefinition of \p@subfigure. I think it's a good idea just to take one of the example codes and play around with it to see what change will have what effect. Please also take a look at the section "References" of the recent subcaption package documentation which gives additional examples. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. –  Oct 04 '11 at 06:41
