+### Caption and Bootstrap classes
+
+If you want to add a caption to an HTML table, you can put the table in a div and assign it a label (below it's `#tbl-html`), and finally insert the caption after the table.<br>

+
+````markdown
+:::{#tbl-html}
+
+```{=html}
+<table class="table-striped">
+  <tr>
+    <th>Name</th>
+    <th>Age</th>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>John Doe</td>
+    <td>30</td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td>Jane Smith</td>
