<cd:shortdesc><!-- a short command summary goes here -->
The environment <tt>\starttable ... \stoptable</tt> is and an old and nearly obsolete way to handle tabular material
</cd:shortdesc>
<cd:variants>
There is a long wiki page about [[Table]] macros, and the macros have been superseded by different macros sets, so this page is intentionally kept short. The [[Tables Overview]] page contains a quick overview of all the tabular macro environments and their pros and cons.</cd:description>
<cd:examples><cd:example title="">The command {{cmd|placetable}} on the first line has the same function as {{cmd|placefigure}}. It takes care of spacing before and after the table and numbering. Furthermore the floating mechanism is initialised so the table will be placed at the most optimal location of on the page.
