Setting the caption position in a table

Description

Setting the position of the caption in a table.

In science and in STEM areas in general, tables are referenced with a caption. This caption should always be at the bottom for tables and at the top for figures. It is a standard in technical and scientific writing.

Why can't you implement a function that allows to place the caption of a table at the bottom of the table?

When asking a question, it's important to use appropriate wording and tone. Please be mindful of how you phrase things.

This being said, how cap-location, fig-cap-location, and tbl-cap-location not enough or does not address the use case described?
Those options are there since a long time now and are documented in several places in the documentation:

Hi @mcanouil
Many thanks for your answer and I'm sorry about the wording. I'm not a native English speaker and the text was AI-Translated. In the original language it didn't sound as bad...sorry fir this!
I'll look for what you sent me.

Many thanks!

FWIW, this is simply not true - I was a practicing academic for 10 years and that's precisely backwards from the journal templates in the venues I published.
