: Demonstration of pipe table syntax

This is quite simple document

• v1.6.39
  

• v1.5.57
  

Somehow we are loosing the caption - I don't think this is on purpose - is it ?

We do get it on top if we use cross reference table

The table is also left-aligned where it was centered previously.

This looks like one of those edge cases that happens with figures that aren't Typst figures because they are not cross-referenced.

The offending commit was c88e6d7, which fixed numbering (lettering) of subtables #10438

Note that the "good" behavior before this commit has a cross-reference ("Table 1") which is arguably incorrect.

I think we have gone back and forth a little bit about non-cross-referenced figures in Typst. Ideally they should look the same but they should not have the cross reference.

IIUC if we want to use Typst's figure infrastructure for non-cross-referenced figures, we'd need

• a custom kind
• a blank or bogus supplement
• a filter to remove the supplement / last traces of cross-reference

It might be easier just to duplicate the formatting and not make it a figure (but then we'd have to keep it in sync with figure formatting).

Right - this isn't a regression. The previous behavior was a bug. We should ensure we show the caption somehow, but because Typst has its own table counters etc, we really don't want to use their cross-references.
