Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Hide the caption in a custom tocloft "List of" system

[petersfreeman]

I'm using tocloft to create a special list to list a half dozen poems in a large document separately from the Table of Contents as I don't want them to appear in that list or other lists.

I'm using the verse package, and it prints the poem title nicely. I want to hide the output from \mypoem{...} but still have it listed in my tocloft list.

I do want to see:

Poems

0.1 My first poem. . . . . . . . . . . 1
0.2 My second poem . . . . . . . . . 2

but I don't want to see

Poem 1. My first poem

or

Poem 2. My second poem

Just remove the line \par\textit{Poem \themypoem. #1} or comment it out.

Thanks you, Stefan! Not understanding the code meant I was not experimenting for fear of breaking it. Wonderful!
