Captions for Tables

[flywire]

The caption Tag is used to specify the caption of a table. This tag will be inserted just after the <table> tag.

Markdown does not define a caption for tables. This could be done by convention, alternatively using an Officially Supported Extension, as shown below, before rendering.

Table Example with heading, two columns and a row

| Syntax      | Description |
| ----------- | ----------- |
| Header      | Title       |
| Paragraph   | Text        |

<p>Table Example with heading, two columns and a row</p>

<thead>
<tr>
<th>Syntax</th>
<th>Description</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Header</td>
<td>Title</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Paragraph</td>
<td>Text</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
