Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ trivfloat and caption position

[drpencilcase]

I'm having problem setting caption position using trivfloat. I just recently started using latex but from what I understood the caption position should be based if i put the \caption command before or after the actual tabulation. It works as I expected when I use table but I need a second type of tables (which I called boxx on the example) and caption is placed after the table...I need it before.

Am I doing anything wrong? If not, is there a workaround?

Thanks,

Felipe Barbosa

Hi,

perhaps there's a solution using trivfloat, but I couldn't find it (I don't have much time right now and I only browsed really quickly through the documentation). Instead of trivfloat, you could use the \DeclareCaptionType command provided by the caption package:

The trivfloat package is a "simple" interface to the underlying float package. You need to use float's mechanism here:

Thanks for the quick reply. Both solutions were satifactory.
