Turn Off the Title Label

Disable the label using table-caption

You can disable the title label for all of the tables in a document by unsetting the table-caption document attribute.

:table-caption!: (1)

1 In an attribute entry, enter the name of the attribute, table-caption, and append a bang (!) to the end of the name. This unsets the attribute.

When table-caption is unset, table titles aren’t preceded by a label and label number.

Disable the label using caption

To remove the label on an individual table, assign an empty value to the caption attribute.

1 Enter the attribute’s name, caption, in an attribute list directly above the table title, followed by an equals sign (=). Don’t enter a value after the =.
