I have tables in a markdown document than I am converting to ConTeXt. They have captions like this:

Table: I am the caption

pandoc outputs this

\startplacetable[caption={I am the caption}]

But that does not yield a caption in the pdf that ConTeXt produces.

According to the ConTeXt Commands manual, \startplacetable does not have a caption option. The options are: title, bookmark, marking, list, location, and reference.

Using "title" does produces a caption under the table in the pdf file. So I think this should be the ConTeXt output from pandoc.

\startplacetable[title={I am the caption}]

I would appreciate any suggestions for short-term workarounds, assuming I'm not mistaken about the problem. Thanks!
