Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Section Title above Table

[loopylouise]

Hello everyone.

This is day 3 of using LaTeX for me so the chances are I'm being dense.
I've managed to get a table into the file (with much googling and bad language) and now the section title "Plasma Parameters" is appearing below to the table and the caption. Below is the code and also, hopefully, an attached image of what it looks like from the pdf.

Code: Select all

\section{Plasma Parameters}

Something useful and relevent.

\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|l|c|c|c|}
\hline
Plasma & \begin{math}\omega_p\end{math} & 

\begin{math}\lambda_D\end{math} &  
\begin{math}\Lambda\end{math} \\ \hline
Interstellar & 6x10\textsuperscript{4} & 0.7 & 

4x10\textsuperscript{6}\\ \hline

Solar Chromosphere	&6x10\textsuperscript{10}	

&5x10\textsuperscript{-6}	 
&2x10\textsuperscript{3}\\ \hline
Solar Wind (1AU)	&2x10\textsuperscript{5}	

&7	 
&5x10\textsuperscript{10}\\ \hline
Ionosphere		&6x10\textsuperscript{7}	

&2x10\textsuperscript{-3}	 
&1x10\textsuperscript{5}\\ \hline
Arc Discharge		&6x10\textsuperscript{11}	

&7x10\textsuperscript{-7}	 
&5x10\textsuperscript{2}\\ \hline
Tokamak			&6x10\textsuperscript{11}	

&7x10\textsuperscript{-5}	 
&4x10\textsuperscript{8}\\ \hline
Inertial Confinement	&6x10\textsuperscript{15}	

&7x10\textsuperscript{-9}	 
&5x10\textsuperscript{4}\\ 
\hline
\end{tabular}

\caption{Plasma frequency, Parament and Debeye  length 

for examples of different plasmas.

\label{fig:PlasmaParameters}

\end{center}
\end{table}

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Start with certain placement parameters for your floating table.

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!ht]
% table content
\end{table}

Assumed that there is enough free space, this should work.
