### Caption and Bootstrap classes

If you want to add a caption to an HTML table, you can put the table in a div and assign it a label (below it's `#tbl-html`), and finally insert the caption after the table.<br>
If you want to add a bootstrap class, just do it in the HTML itself.<br>
Below is an example with both applied.

````markdown
:::{#tbl-html}

```{=html}
<table class="table-striped">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John Doe</td>
<td>30</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jane Smith</td>
<td>25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Emily Johnson</td>
<td>40</td>
</tr>
</table>
```
