Caption without text below "Figure''
You can use the caption
package with the option format=hang
to do this
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[format=hang]{caption}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{20pt}{10pt} %just for demonstration
\caption{ Here's a long caption, it goes across more than
one line| the style you describe is called `hanging'.}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Putting an enumerate
environment in a caption can be done- see
Using the itemize environment inside a caption
for details.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[format=hang,labelsep=colon]{caption}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\rule{5cm}{3cm} %just for demonstration
\caption[text for the list of figures]
{ \tabular[t]{@{}p{5cm}@{}}
bla bla bla bla and some other nonsense text \\
a) bla bla bla \\
b) bla bla bla
\endtabular}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
Hanging indent is the default setup for captions in the classes from the KOMA-Script bundle.
\documentclass[paper=letter]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\centering
\rule{3.2in}{1.8in}
\caption[LoF entry]{\lipsum[1]}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
