Table captions are shown within the table body

[Didymograptus]

Using material for mkdocs and the captions plugin (no options)

Problem:

The caption text is included within the table body.

The html source file generated by the plugin shows the caption tag to be within the table tag.

Hey, thanks for raising this issue.

I have some problems following your description.

As far as I see it, the plugin adds a caption to a table with the <caption> tag.

E.g. like this

<table id="_table-1">
<caption style="caption-side:bottom">Table 1: Table caption</caption><thead>
<tr>
<th>My</th>
<th>Table</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Has</td>
<td>A Caption</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Which Makes</td>
<td>It Fancy</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

As far as I know, this is the right behaviour. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/caption

Am I missing something?

The html should be

<caption style="caption-side:bottom">Table 1: Table caption</caption><thead>
<table id="_table-1">

(outside the the table tag)

not

<table id="_table-1">
<caption style="caption-side:bottom">Table 1: Table caption</caption><thead>

(inside the table tag)

Where is this specified? Don't get me wrong, I am happy to change this, but I have never seen the caption tag outside of the table tag ...

The official reference states it should be inside the table tag

I've done some more testing.

I was using mkdocs material theme and saw this: (caption within table)

I swapped over to readthedocs theme and now see this: (caption outside of table)

So it seems that the problem is with the material theme.

Apologies for any confusion.
