That's likely because you're using a table floating environment \begin{table}, and that interferes with our own processing. Your issue is probably related to #8841, specifically the part about us attempting to capture the environment.

[skriptum]

Wow that was fast:). I do not quite understand #8841, but is there already a workaround (by deleting some parts) / will it be solved in the next round of updates?

Thanks for the help

[cscheid]

Unfortunately there's no great workaround just right now (I hope to to do it in the next few days). If you can get your code to not emit \begin{table} (ie, to start at the \begin{tabular}... part, then you can wrap that in a div, like so:

::: {#tbl-mytable}

```{=latex}
\begin{tabular}
...
\end{tabular}
```

A caption for the table.
:::

As you can see in @tbl-mytable, it's a table.

Wonderful, that works like a charm
