Although you can specify columns and
column groups in markup, cells are structurally contained within rows. Columns
and column groups are more esoteric items that are derived from the set of cells in
all rows of the table.
A table can be included in a formatting context as either a block-level or inline-level
box. It can have padding (p. 211), borders (p. 220), and margins (p. 200).
A table element generates an anonymous box that encompasses the table box and
the caption box (if they??™re present). The caption box is rendered outside the table
box, but is inextricably tied to it. When a table is repositioned, it??™s the outer
anonymous box that??™s moved to enable the caption to follow the table.
Captions inherit inheritable properties from the table. A caption is formatted as a
block box, but it doesn??™t behave like general block boxes in all respects. If a run-in
element precedes the table, it will not run into a caption box.

The placement of the caption can be controlled via the caption-side property.
