Tables are objects that are not part of the normal text, and are usually "floated" to a convenient place, like the top of a page. Tables will not be split between two pages.

Note that there is an *-form: `\begin{table*} ... \end{table*}`. This form will put the table in a single column when in two column mode; in one column mode it is identical to the non-* form

The optional argument [placement] determines where LaTeX will try to place your table. There are four places where LaTeX can possibly put a float:

- `h` Here - at the position in the text where the table environment appears.
- `t` Top - at the top of a text page.
- `b` Bottom - at the bottom of a text page.
- `p` Page of floats - on a separate float page, which is a page containing no text, only floats.

The standard report and article styles use the default placement `tbp`.

The body of the table is made up of whatever text, LaTeX commands, etc., you wish.

The `\caption` command allows you to title your table.
