Tables are objects that are not part of the normal text, and
are usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a
page. Tables will not be split between two pages.
The optional argument `[placement]' determines where LaTeX will try
to place your table. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly put
a float:
* `h' : Here - at the position in the text where the table
environment appears.
* `t' : Top - at the top of a text page.
* `b' : Bottom - at the bottom of a text page.
* `p' : Page of floats - on a separate float page, which is a page
containing no text, only floats.
The standard `report' and `article' classes use the default
placement `[tbp]'.
The body of the table is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands,
etc., you wish. The `\caption' command allows you to title your table.
