I'm trying to create a table with repeating headers for a table that only has one column.

What I tried is this:

#let date = datetime.today().display()

#show table.header : it => strong(it)

#figure(
  align(center,
)[#table(
      columns: 1,
      align: left,
      inset: 6pt,
      table.header([Date],[Text 1], [Text 2]),
      [#date],
      [#lorem(15)],
      [#lorem(30)],
    )],
    caption: [Journal from #date]
)

Which resulted in this:

What I excepted was this:

One of the advantages of having this build in as a feature would be that, if implemented correctly, the table headers could be repeated in case there is a page break.
