Print table name inside caption tag?
-
Hi Tobias,
Is there a way to filter the caption text so that the name or description of the table can be printed inside that <caption> tag (and also inside an <h2> element)? I’m trying the ‘tablepress_print_caption_text’ filter but it doesn’t seem to have the $table attributes available.
Background: for layout and semantic HTML reasons, I’d prefer to print the table name (what usually appears in the <h2> tags) in the table <caption> element. I also would prefer to print this _above_ the table itself.
This is partly because i have a margin offset for the entire <table> element and i’d prefer to keep the CSS simple, but it also seems from the spec of the <caption> element that the title of a table should go inside that element.

Oh!! I just found this, Tobias already made it. Thank you Tobias!
I had not searching the right terms before:https://tablepress.org/extensions/table-caption-html-tag/
This should help you @pbossley
I modified Tobias’ plugin to use an <h2> tag inside the <caption>
function tablepress_table_caption_html_tag( $caption, $table ) { $caption = preg_replace( '/&(?![A-Za-z]{0,4}\w{2,3};|#[0-9]{2,4};)/', '&', $table['name'] ); return '<h2 class="tablepress-table-name">' . $caption . '</h2>'; }@tobiasbg maybe consider making this an option on the basic plugin? I feel like this is semantically a more correct use of the <caption> tag.
