The table environment makes a table float to a convenient place, such as the top of a following page.
Syntax[]
\begin{table}[placement] table body \caption{title} % optional \label{label} % also optional \end{table}
The floating behavior can be controlled with the optional placement specifier; possible values are t
(top), b
(bottom), and p
(dedicated page for floats). Use h
to make the table appear where it was defined, or simply don't use the table environment.
Example[]
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Author & Piece \\ \hline
Bach & Cello Suite Number 1 \\
Beethoven & Cello Sonata Number 3 \\
Brahms & Cello Sonata Number 1
\end{tabular}
\caption{Top cello pieces}
\label{tab:cello}
\end{table}
