markdown-it-table-captions

> Table caption plugin for markdown-it markdown parser.

Syntax

Syntax based on Pandoc table_captions. Should work with other table extension.

Paragraph starting with Table: or : immediately before or after a table is interpreted as a caption. E.g:

```markdown
Table: A Caption

| A | B |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |
``

or

``markdown
| A | B |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |

Table: A Caption
``

or

``markdown
| A | B |
|---|---|
| 1 | 2 |

: A Caption
``

all result in

``html


















A Caption

A	B
1	2


``

> Note that unfortunately pandoc gfm tables behave differently from markdown-it gfm tables such that in markdown-it a blank line has to be between the table and a subsequent caption, because otherwise the caption is interpreted as part of the table.

Use

``js
import md from 'markdown-it'
import table_captions from 'markdown-it-table-captions'

const markdown = md().use(table_captions)

markdown.render('...')
```
