Captions for table in Markdown?

Wendy

Dear All,

I’m a week into my JotterPad journey! I’m trying to recreate some large Word documents I’ve grown over the last 10-years which heavily use Word’s captions for the tables and which can then be cross-references from the body - I’ve looked through the forums (which mention captions for images using alt text which was useful) and the markdown guides and can’t see how to do it.

Caption after table title & number:

Can anyone help me with this please?

Thanks,
Wendy

To my knowledge there is still no widely accepted syntax for table caption in Markdown. Pandoc uses the following syntax:

| Right | Left | Default | Center |
|------:|:-----|---------|:------:|
|   12  |  12  |    12   |    12  |
|  123  |  123 |   123   |   123  |
|    1  |    1 |     1   |     1  |

: Table caption

MultiMarkdown uses this:

| Right | Left | Default | Center |
|------:|:-----|---------|:------:|
|   12  |  12  |    12   |    12  |
|  123  |  123 |   123   |   123  |
|    1  |    1 |     1   |     1  |
[Table caption]

And other Markdown flavors like GFM have no dedicated syntax at all. I personally would vote for adoption of the Pandoc syntax in JotterPad.
