I don’t have a solution for this, but I wanted to mention that there’s the opposite issue in LaTeX output: Because it uses `longtable` for tables (and understandably this is a good default solution in many cases), LaTeX tables produced by pandoc _don’t_ float. This strips LaTeX output of one of its central features that make it superior when compared to Word etc.

I tried to add floating tables with a custom filter, but that basically means re-constructing the complete LaTeX code that a table can contain within the filter.

So while I don’t have an easy solution, I agree that a bit more control over table rendering/positioning in ConTeXt and LaTeX would be much appreciated.

When the ConTeXt writer produces tables it starts with
\startplacetable[title={Table Caption}]
if the table has a caption, or
\startplacetable[location=none]
This allows the tables to float.

I need tables to not float. For tables with captions I want them to start with
\startplacetable[location=force,title={Table Caption}]
and for tables without captions I want them to start with
\startplacetable[location={force,none}]
Would it be possible to add an option to force the tables not to float?
