Re: Required caption

[Norman Walsh <ndw@nwalsh.com>]

/ Elliotte Harold <elharo@metalab.unc.edu> was heard to say:
| In HTML 4 the caption for a table is optional. In DocBook 5 with the
| HTML table model it seems to be required. Is this true? If so, why?

It's an attempt at compromise between DocBook which has two table
elements, one with a title and one without, and HTML which has only
one.

The short answer is, you want an HTML table without a caption, you
want an informaltable.
