I am writing a document with margin figures, an environment that comes with sidenotes.

I want to change the caption for those figures, with the caption package. But doing

\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[marginfigure]{
labelfont=bf, % for example,
}

doesn't make the caption label in bold, and indeed the log tells me about it:

Package caption Warning: Unused \captionsetup[marginfigure] on input line 6.
See the caption package documentation for explanation.

Is it possible to blend the marginfigure environment with caption?

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx,sidenotes,caption}
\captionsetup[marginfigure]{
labelfont=bf, % for example,
}
\begin{document}
Lorem ipsum.
\begin{marginfigure}
\includegraphics[width=\marginparwidth]{example-image}
\caption{Caption for the margin figure.}
\end{marginfigure}
\end{document}

  • I just played with the code and googled a bit.
  • To me, the relationship between the two packages is unclear, at least the manuals do not explain it very well (or I just did not find it).
  • Inspired by Change color for captions in sidenotes and alignment, I came up with the following.
  • To be clear, I do not what I am doing here.
\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{sidenotes}


\DeclareCaptionStyle{marginfigure}{labelfont=bf}


\begin{document}


Lorem ipsum.


\begin{marginfigure}
\includegraphics[width=\marginparwidth]{example-image}
\caption{Caption for the margin figure.}
\end{marginfigure}


\end{document}
