Sorry, there is rendering code, but in my installation, nothing is
rendered.

<p> align = top|bottom|left|right
[CI]
<br>
<b>Deprecated</b>. For visual user agents, this attribute specifies the
position of the caption
<br>
with respect to the table.
<br>
Possible values:
<br>
top: The caption is at the top of the table. This is the default value.
<br>
bottom: The caption is at the bottom of the table.
<br>
left: The caption is at the left of the table.
<br>
right: The caption is at the right of the table.
<p> Attributes defined elsewhere
<p>
id, class (document-wide identifiers)
<br>
lang (language information), dir (text direction)
<br>
title (element title)
<br>
style (inline style information )
<br>
onclick, ondblclick, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmouseover,
<br>
onmousemove, onmouseout, onkeypress, onkeydown,
<br>
onkeyup (intrinsic events )
<p> When present, the CAPTION
element's text should describe the nature of the table.
<br> The CAPTION element is only
permitted immediately after the TABLE start tag.
<br> A TABLE element may only
contain one CAPTION element.
<p> Visual user agents allow
sighted people to quickly grasp the structure of the table
<br> from the headings as well
as the caption. A consequence of this is that captions will
<br> often be inadequate as a
summary of the purpose and structure of the table from
<br> the perspective of people
relying on non-visual user agents.
<p> Authors should therefore
take care to provide additional information summarizing
<br> the purpose and structure
of the table using the summary attribute of the TABLE
<br> element. This is especially
important for tables without captions. Examples below
<br> illustrate the use of the
summary attribute.
<p> Visual user agents should
avoid clipping any part of the table including the caption,
<br> unless a means is provided
to access all parts, e.g., by horizontal or vertical scrolling.
<br> We recommend that the caption
text be wrapped to the same width as the table.
<br> (See also the section on
recommended layout algorithms.)
<p>There is code in the DOM for adding the caption to a table, and also
in the rendering engine
<br>to create an according object, but it seems the table doesn`t make
this object render itself.
<br>So, some code needs to be added to renderTable::print that takes care
for captions.
<br>Unfortunately, the rendering code for tables is fairly complex, so
that i didn't find the problem
<br>at a glance. Antti was the last maintainer, probably he knows a bit

<p>David Faure, I'm using Red Hat Linux 6.0 installed on an i486
computer. And am
<br>using KFM Ver. 1.167.2.11 and looking at one of my website webpages
at URL
<br><a href="http://mlug.missouri.edu/~wbishop/websites.php3">http://mlug.missouri.edu/~wbishop/websites.php3</a>
where I have an HTML caption
<br>statement in a table. The HTML caption statement as obtained
from
<br>View/ViewDocumentSource is as follows:
<p><caption align=top><font size="+1"><b><i>Websites of Interest
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<br><a href="website2.php3">more...</a></i></b></font></caption>
<p>KFM renders the anchor as "more..." in italics, bold and underlined
but when I
<br>move my mouse cursor to point to the link, the link is not recognized
as a
<br>link. Am wondering if maybe having a link inside an HTML table
caption
<br>statement is not being handling properly by KFM? The "more..."
anchor works
<br>with Netscape Navigator, Internet Explorer and Opera. In fact
the KFM effect
<br>is the first time I have noticed anything wrongly rendered with the
"more..."
<br>link. I don't know if this may be corrected with a later
version of Red Hat
<br>Linux and KFM. At this time I'm not aware that the syntax of
the caption
<br>statement is wrong. Just thought you might like to know about
what I have
<br>observed. Bill Bishop
