Table number does not appear when using a single table inside a div element. #3931
Description
Hi,
Is there a way to obtain a numbered table caption above a single table using div elements: ":::"?
According to the documentation at tables one can use div elements around multiple tables to get a a numbered table with the caption above using this code:
For example, this code:
::: {#tbl-panel layout-ncol=2}
| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A | B | C |
| E | F | G |
| A | G | G |
: First Table {#tbl-first}
| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A | B | C |
| E | F | G |
| A | G | G |
: Second Table {#tbl-second}
Main Caption
:::
will give a numbered table with caption above as I want. But when using a single table, the table number is not displayed, like this code:
::: {#tbl-panel}
| Col1 | Col2 | Col3 |
|------|------|------|
| A | B | C |
| E | F | G |
| A | G | G |
Main Caption
:::
I am trying to use this as a workaround to get numbered table caption above my datatable produced using R. In the following code, I would like the table caption to be numbered according to the order it appears in the document (relative to other tables), and appear above the datatable.
::: {#tbl-panel}
```{r}
library(DT)
datatable(my_interactive_table)
```
My table caption that should give the table number and appear above the table.

Thank you for your time and help,
