Splitted table captions

[MrUnknown789556]

I installed the pacakage and run it.

It generated all tables from the article smoothly. Very nice and impressive.

But I would here point out a minor deficiency:

If the table caption for a table is splitted over more than 1 line, then only one (the lowest splitted part of the caption text) is included in the extracted table.

With the attached test article, it is also seen, that a "table" is extracted, that is not a table at all.

Hi, @MrUnknown789556,
Thanks for trying out Extractable. I take your feedback seriously and will work on it. Keep in mind Extractable is a work in progress, so you can contribute by leaving valuable feedback and by making changes in the code.

as for your points:

1. If the table caption for a table is splitted over more than 1 line, then only one (the lowest splitted part of the caption text) is included in the extracted table.

• #TODO I will be looking into this, there should be a solution to it.

2. With the attached test article, it is also seen, that a "table" is extracted, that is not a table at all.
   This is an unfortunate byproduct of Extractable's ability to recognize tables with no lines present. It is a double edged sword because sometimes there is tables with no lines that we do want to be detected. But in cases like this it is fooled by just text in a table-like format.

• #TODO There is no quick fix to this but it is possible to have two versions:
• - one version recognizing all tables including with no lines,
• - and another version recognizing only tables with lines
