- You should be able to get the desired effect via
-
- \caption[Short Title for List of Tables/Figures]
- {
- This is the caption. It contains a displayed equation\\
- $\displaystyle
- e^{x + iy} = e^x (\cos y + i \sin y)
- $\\
- which was originally derived by Euler.
- }

- You'll find a detailed discussion of \displaystyle in chapter 17 of
- the \TeX{}book.
