resulting HTML tables be given IDs?

resulting HTML tables be given IDs?

[Joseph Reagle]

Just as headings and sections can take automatic fragment identifiers (and be included in ToCs), has any thought been given (or have I missed) doing the same for tables/captions? Or is the consensus this is best left to the author, as in the example below?

	# Results

	::: {style="font: 90% 'Airal', sans-serif;"}

	: [Table 1]{#table_spins}: Reddit phrases and automated spins

	...

You can put an identifier on part of the capture in the
way you describe, but currently there's no good way to
put an identifier on the Table element itself -- though
the AST now does allow attributes there.

Well, actually, there is one way, but only in commonmark
with the attributes extension:

```
% pandoc -f commonmark_x
{#mytable}
| This | is |
| ---  | -- |
| my   | table |
<table id="mytable">
<thead>
<tr class="header">
<th>This</th>
<th>is</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td>my</td>
<td>table</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
```

If the purpose is to style a table with CSS wrapping the table in a div and
using a child selector like `div#my-id table` will work fine.

Re: resulting HTML tables be given IDs?

Attributes can directly precede a table in commonmark; good to know.

And I take it, then, there's not much interest in auto-identifiers for tables (using caption text).

commonmark *with* the (unofficial) attributes extension.
This is enabled automatically if you use commonmark_x.

Those would be some pretty long identifiers. I don't think this
makes sense the way auto identifiers for headings do.
