IBM RPE Table of Table isue
Accepted answer
Thank you for the steps you followed in DNG. Please note that after these steps, DNG (reportable API) will no more return it as table caption. If you see the XHTML returned by DNG - the text is not within <caption> tag and it is outside the table element. Though you see it above the table, it is not really table caption.
You can cross check this in MS Word - Select all (Ctrl+A), right click and choose "Toggle Field Codes". You do not see the field code for table caption (for what you edited in DNG). Since it is not a table caption, it is not shown in TOT.
We have an Enhancement created against RPE to address this.

There is a limitation in RPE - table captions are placed at the bottom. But TOT should work fine.
Can you check the style applied to the table captions in your output?Also, which option did you use in DNG to align centre? Can you provide the steps you followed in DNG rich text editor?

We have solved this by creating a specific artifact type - "Caption - Tables". Set the artifact that is the table caption directly under the artifact that contains the table.
e.g. artifact 450 is the table; artifact 451 is the caption; assuming you did them sequentially;
Then in RPE when that type of artifact is discovered, the TOT type is applied when creating the report. We do the same with figures.
