Are there style guides for lists of figures / list of tables? I am currently writing my thesis and I will add a list of figures and a list of tables.

Are there any style guides how to / not to write the text shown for each entry in those lists? (e.g. I could imagine that somebody already wrote a list of common mistakes)

Example

This is a part of how it currently looks like:



Hence some questions are:


Should title capitalization be used?
Should it be a sentence?
Are braces ok?


As I have not seen this before, I'm not aware of any guidelines how to write those. I think it should be written in such a way that a person who has already read the work can quickly find the table / figure again.
I don't know of any style guides, but you should first check with your university, as they may have a thesis manual of sorts for you to follow (mine does, and part of my job is to make sure students follow it). Usually students will likely follow a journal format in their field to format the captions. Again, contact the appropriate office at your university to get help with formatting the captions, if they have guidelines. Otherwise - almost anything goes, and you should be consistent in how you format the captions.
