<?tbcaptr>
Description
This command is used to signify the start and end of table caption row(s), in a similar fashion to <?tbheadr>. A top caption will be inserted at the start of the table, outside of the table rules, and a bottom caption will appear under the table. When a table is too wide and breaks into more than 1 set of columns (see <?tbwmode>), the mid caption will be used. When text for caption row(s) is encountered by PTC ALD in the main body of the table they are automatically skipped and the caption will hence only occur outside of the table.

Additional Information
With the exception of the fact that they are displayed outside of the table, top, middle and bottom captions behave as normal cells and can be allocated the following parameters:
<?tbcspan=number of columns>: cell rules or backgrounds
<?tbrkeepn>: keeps for top captions
<?tbrkeepp>: keeps for middle and bottom captions
<?tbrgut>: gutters for top captions
<?tbrtgut>: gutters for middle and bottom captions
