Well, your red example text got trashed in the list server, so you
don't really have an example.

What I'd do, though, is use two tags. One for the Figure Title text
that shows up in the LOF and a second tag (FigTitle2) with matching
format attributes. Set the first one so that it paginates as a run-in
head, and you won't be able to tell in the book where they begin and
end. But the LOF will only pick up the Figure Title.
