table ----- \begin{table}[placement] body of the table \caption{table title} \end{table} 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.
