\begin{table}[label=name
              caption=text
              style=cssname       -> plain - to omit the label
              note=text
              width=#
              align=left|right}  -> Figure #. caption-text 
    . . .
 \begin{caption}
  Caption text.
 \end{caption}
\end{table}
Similar to a LaTeX figure. Table blocks are numbered sequentially on a given page. If label is omitted, then only the caption text is displayed without the number. The note argument is used to add HTML comments to the table. This can be used to provide copyright information or notes you want to share and/or remember about the contents of the table. A caption or description of the figure can be provided in either the optional caption key or the caption child environment.
  \begin{caption}
  This is the caption of the table.
  \end{caption}

The latter is used for more complex text that may contain wiki styles.

Keys:
label

Defines a reference label or name for the table. The label can be used with the \ref{label} command to create a reference link to the table.

caption

The description or caption of the table. The text of this argument should be simple and not include any other plugin elements. If styling or plugin elements are needed, the caption environment can be used instead.

style

The name of one or more block specific css class names for modifying the default style of the table. There are two styles currently defined, plain is used for omitting the Table label from the caption and flush is used to remove the top margin.

note

Adds text to the image as a HTML comment which can be used to denote a copyright or other relevant information about the table.

width

The horizontal size of the table block. By default, the table is the full width of the parent container.

align

Whether the table box should be aligned left or right on the page. This argument is only useful if the width is also set. By default, the table is the full width of the parent container and thus, can not float left or right.
