# p.table-title

## Syntax

**p.table-title**

## Purpose

The annotation *p.table-title* is used to create a title for the table if the title is in a table cell; if the title is outside of the table, you will need to use a different annotation to create the title. The annotation[p.title.for-following-content](https://www.stilo.com/docs/migrate/document-structure/p-title-for-following-content/) would be a good choice, if the title is before the table. If the title is after the table, you can use the annotation p.shift-into-preceding-table along with *p.table-title* to get the title placed appropriately.

<table frame="all">
  <title>Availability of QuickTrace DLL for different operating systems</title>
  <tgroup cols="2">
    <colspec colname="C1" colwidth="1.861in"/>
    <colspec colname="C2" colwidth="1.569in"/>
