5.3. Adding Table Titles


5.3.1. Adding a Title to a Table

To add a title, use the title attribute. For example:

!block table; title="Phone numbers of good friends"
Name   Phone
Bill   123 4567
Joe    789 1234
Mary   584 3333
!endblock

The output is:

Phone numbers of good friends
Name Phone
Bill 123 4567
Joe 789 1234
Mary 584 3333

5.3.2. Adding a Title to a Psuedo Table

Occasionally, it is useful to title a table by hand. To do this, use the TT (Table Title) paragraph style. For example:

   TT: My Boring Looking Table
   !include "my_table.txt"; example; wide

5.3.3. Generating a List of Tables

A list of tables can be generated from the table titles. To do this, set the DOC_LOT variable. For example:

# Build the title
!define DOC_NAME "World Peace in 60 Days"
!define DOC_LOT
!build_title

This will generate a list of tables after the table of contents.


5.3.4. Changing the List of Tables Title

The default title for the list of tables is "List of Tables". To change this, set the DOC_LOT_TITLE. For example:

!define DOC_LOT_TITLE "Tables"
