Hi,

I have asimpl table in an org document which, when i export to HTML, is for
some reason accompanied by an empty <caption></caption> tag.  My wordpress
theme causes the caption to take up valuable space...  is there any way to
surpress the caption tag from being created on export?  If not, maybe
osmeone has a css trick that will stop the caption tag from taking up
vertical space on the screen if there's nothing inside it?

Thanks as always!

org-html.el says:

,----
|       ;; Since the output of HTML table formatter can also be used in
|       ;; DocBook document, we want to always include the caption to make
|       ;; DocBook XML file valid.
|       (push (format "<caption>%s</caption>" (or caption "")) html)
`----

which seems a bit smelly to me, but it explains the empty caption.
Sorry, can't help with CSS.

I have fixed this in org-e-html.el.

Please export with M-x org-export-dispatch RET etc etc
