How to add a "Table" caption for a figure of table?

How to add a "Table" caption for a figure of table?

[jiewuza]

I want to have a table with cells span multiple rows or columns in my
markdown file. Since it is not supported, I just screenshot the table
into an image.

With

![The caption](table-screenshot.jpg)

it turns out a "Figure" caption.

And then I tried something like this:

: The table caption
![](table-screenshot.jpg)

Of course it does not work, it results in an error producing PDF.

This would probably be an ugly workaround, but you could try
a one-cell table with the image in it.

It works, except that it shows table-border.

So here comes to my next question: how to hide the table-border, just
for the "faked" tables, not the real tables.

You can temporarily redefine \toprule and \bottomrule.

If you have no other tables, you could just put

\let\toprule\relax
\let\bottomrule\relax

in your header.

Re: How to add a "Table" caption for a figure of table?

[jiewuza]

I have other real tables in the file.
I wonder if there is any attribute to set for the table, like this

: The table caption

--------------
![](table-screenshot.jpg)
--------------
{.no-border}

Or may this be a feature request?

You could redefine these before  the table and redefine them
again after.  Something like this (untested)

\let\oldtoprule\toprule
\let\oldbottomrule\bottomrule
\let\toprule\relax
\let\bottomrule\relax

table here

\let\toprule\oldtoprule
\let\bottomrule\oldbottomrule

It works, though a little ugly.

I read a post that pandoc would support tables with
multi-row/column-span cells in the future.

This would solve my problem totally.
