A content aid (hereinafter, the Aid) is a multimedia, tabular, or visual matter that supports textual content.
List
A list of figures and tables is a numerical listing of those Aids that are presented in a report or another document. The list is a conditional part of report's front matter; the list is included when the report content has more than 5 figures and/or tables. When the list is included, it functions as a part of report's structural metadata.
The ANSI/NISO Scientific and Technical Reports standard details,
- If a report contains more than five figures or tables, or some combination totaling more than five, a list of figures and/or tables is required. If a report contains fewer than five figures or tables, a list is optional. Figures and tables in the table of contents are numbered, worded, spelled, and punctuated exactly as they are in the report. The lists of figures and tables, titled "Figures" and "Tables," respectively, follow the contents section. If the table of contents fills only half a page, the lists of figures and tables may follow the table of contents on the same page. If lists of figures and tables are included in a report, all figures and tables are listed with their corresponding locations. A list of figures precedes a list of tables. If a report has many figures and few tables or few figures and many tables, they can be combined into a single list ("Figures and Tables") with figures preceding tables.
