As you can see, this is similar to that quesion. However I think my problem has not been solved and then open this.
I'm using markdown package in my LaTeX document and it works well. However I find my tables always float to the top of my page after I add caption, just like that；
So I have to disable the float property. I find the markdown.sty file:
then find table label and put [htbp] after it. Then it works!
Now I know where is the problem. However it is not a good solution indeed. Then I read user manual and find Table Renderer setting. It says:
2.3.1.21 Table Renderer
The \markdownRendererTable macro represents a table. This macro will only be produced, when the pipeTables option is enabled. The macro receives the parameters {⟨caption⟩}{⟨number of rows⟩}{⟨number of columns⟩} followed by {⟨alignments⟩} and then by {⟨row⟩} repeated ⟨number of rows⟩ times, where ⟨row⟩ is {⟨column⟩} repeated ⟨number of columns⟩ times, ⟨alignments⟩ is ⟨alignment⟩ repeated ⟨number of columns⟩ times, and ⟨alignment⟩ is one of the following......
LATEX Example Using a text editor, create a text document named document.tex with the following content:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pipeTables, tableCaptions]{markdown}
\newcount\rowCounter
\newcount\columnCounter
\makeatletter
\def\processRow#1{%
\columnCounter=1%
\ifnum\rowCounter=0\relax
As for the alignment,
\else
In row \the\rowCounter,
\fi
\processColumn#1
\advance\rowCounter by 1\relax
\ifnum\rowCounter>\rowTotal\relax
\expandafter\@gobble
\fi\processRow}%
\def\processColumn#1{%
column number \the\columnCounter{}
\ifnum\rowCounter=0\relax
\if#1d{}has default alignment\fi
\if#1l{}is left-aligned\fi
\if#1c{}is centered\fi
\if#1r{}is right-aligned\fi
\else
says \emph{#1}%
\fi
\advance\columnCounter by 1\relax
\ifnum\columnCounter<\columnTotal\relax, \fi
\ifnum\columnCounter=\columnTotal\relax, and \fi
\ifnum\columnCounter>\columnTotal\relax
.\expandafter\@gobble
\fi\processColumn}%
\makeatother
\markdownSetup{
renderers = {
table = {%
This is a table with caption \emph{#1} that is #3 colums wide
and #2 rows long.
\rowCounter=0%
\def\rowTotal{#2}%
\def\columnTotal{#3}%
\processRow
},
},
}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}
| Right | Left | Default | Center |
|------:|:-----|---------|:------:|
| 12 | 12 | 12 | 12 |
| 123 | 123 | 123 | 123 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
: Demonstration of pipe table syntax
\end{markdown}
\end{document}
A PDF document named document.pdf should be produced and contain the following text:
This is a table with caption Demonstration of pipe table syntax that is 4 colums wide and 4 rows long. As for the alignment, column number 1 is right-aligned, column number 2 is left-aligned, column number 3 has default alignment, and column number 4 is centered. In row 1, column number 1 says Right, column number 2 says Left, column number 3 says Default, and column number 4 says Center. In row 2, column number 1 says 12, column number 2 says 12, column number 3 says 12, and column number 4 says 12. In row 3, column number 1 says 123, column number 2 says 123, column number 3 says 123, and column number 4 says 123. In row 4, column number 1 says 1, column number 2 says 1, column number 3 says 1, and column number 4 says 1.
Urr......I think my level of TeX is not sufficient to understand how it turn the table into a "mess" .
Then I tried copying codes in markdown.sty to my LaTeX file with \makeatletter command, but it failed.
It seems much more difficult than image renderer. To change the image renderer I just need to put below into my file:
\markdownSetup{
renderers = {
image = {\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width = .9\linewidth]{#3}%
\ifx\empty#4\empty\else
\caption{#4}\label{fig:#1}%
\fi
\end{figure}}
}
}
It is easy and clear...but I don't know how table renderer works. Maybe I need to write much more code to achieve that.
ps: here is a simple test file:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{markdown}
\markdownSetup{pipeTables = true}
\markdownSetup{tableCaptions = true}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\begin{document}
\begin{markdown}

\end{markdown}
\end{document}
Some examples are better so that I can understand and learn more.
Thanks for your reading and answer!
Edit
As the answers say, we can copy codes from markdown.sty to our files. However don't put \makeatletter and \makeatother at wrong position. They should be put outside \markdownSetup, just like that:
\makeatletter
\markdownSetup{
renderers = {
table = {%
\markdownLaTeXTable={}%
\markdownLaTeXTableAlignment={}%
\markdownLaTeXTableEnd={%
\markdownLaTeXBottomRule
\end{tabular}}%
\ifx\empty#1\empty\else
\addto@hook\markdownLaTeXTable{%
\begin{table}[htbp]
\centering\caption{#1}\vspace{3pt}}%
\addto@hook\markdownLaTeXTableEnd{%
\end{table}}%
\fi
\addto@hook\markdownLaTeXTable{\begin{tabular}}%
\markdownLaTeXRowCounter=0%
\markdownLaTeXRowTotal=#2%
\markdownLaTeXColumnTotal=#3%
\markdownLaTeXRenderTableRow
},
link = {\href{#3}{#1}},
image = {\begin{figure}[htb]
\centering
\includegraphics[width = .9\linewidth]{#3}%
\ifx\empty#4\empty\else
\caption{#4}\label{fig:#1}%
\fi
\end{figure}}
}
}
\makeatother
If you are making templates, you don't need to add the two commands.
