<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Adding a Title to a Table">5.3.1. Adding a Title to a Table</A></H2>
<P>To add a title, use the <EM>title</EM> attribute. For example:</P>
<PRE>
!block table; title=&quot;Phone numbers of good friends&quot;
Name   Phone
Bill   123 4567
Joe    789 1234
Mary   584 3333
!endblock
</PRE>
<P>The output is:</P>
<TABLE CLASS="columns" BORDER>
<CAPTION ALIGN=top>Phone numbers of good friends</CAPTION>
<TR CLASS="heading">
<TD>
<STRONG>Name</STRONG>
</TD>

<STRONG>Phone</STRONG>

<H2><A NAME="Adding a Title to a Psuedo Table">5.3.2. Adding a Title to a Psuedo Table</A></H2>
<P>Occasionally, it is useful to title a table by hand. To do this, use the TT (Table Title) paragraph style. For example:</P>
<PRE>
   TT: My Boring Looking Table
   !include &quot;my_table.txt&quot;; example; wide
</PRE>
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Generating a List of Tables">5.3.3. Generating a List of Tables</A></H2>
<P>A list of tables can be generated from the table titles. To do this, set the <EM>DOC_LOT</EM> variable. For example:</P>
<PRE>
# Build the title
!define DOC_NAME &quot;World Peace in 60 Days&quot;
!define DOC_LOT
!build_title
</PRE>
<P>This will generate a list of tables after the table of contents.</P>
<HR>
<H2><A NAME="Changing the List of Tables Title">5.3.4. Changing the List of Tables Title</A></H2>
<P>The default title for the list of tables is &quot;List of Tables&quot;. To change this, set the DOC_LOT_TITLE. For example:</P>
<PRE>
!define DOC_LOT_TITLE &quot;Tables&quot;
</PRE>
