General ⇒ 3 Nag warnings with title page. Why ?

[Cham]

Here's another MWE code which gives a Nag warning :

Package nag Warning: table with no \caption on input line 28.

I don't want the table to get any caption! So what is wrong with this code?

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=1.5in,top=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}

\begin{document}

\subsection{Subsection title}

Bla bla

\begin{table}
	\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|}
	\hline
	Name 1 & Name 2 & Name 3
	\\ \hline
	Text & Text & Text
	\\ \hline
	\end{tabularx}
\end{table}  % What is wrong with this table?

Bla bla

\end{document}

Nothing. The package assumes that every tabular (defined within table) moves around (it does indeed, as that is the only purpose of a table) and needs a caption to be refernced.

Are you maybe doing \begin{table}[H] in your own document? Do not. Omit the table environment.

A mistake many users make.

[Cham]

Are you maybe doing \begin{table}[H] in your own document? Do not. Omit the table environment.

Yes, I do this. What then to do, and I want all the tables and figures to be fixed on THAT place. I don't want them to move around.

[Johannes_B]

Omit the table environment.

[Cham]

I can't! For example, I need to do this, which works without any Nag warning :

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=1.5in,top=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{here}

\begin{document}
 
\subsection{Subsection title}
 
Bla bla
 
\begin{table}[H]
	\centering
	\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
	\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|}
	\hline
	Name 1 & Name 2 & Name 3
	\\ \hline
	Text & Text & Text
	\\ \hline
	\end{tabularx}
\end{table}  % WHAT IS WRONG?
 
Bla bla
 
\end{document}

[Johannes_B]

Well then, where is the problem? Use [H] all the time. It does what you want, prevents the figure or table from moving.

It is just more code to type in.

[Cham]

I don't see how to make the previous table, without the table environment and the tabularx inside. How would you modify the previous code ?

[Johannes_B]

The center environment adds a bit of vertical space. A minipage around would be even better, but again more typing.

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[l2tabu,orthodox]{nag}
\documentclass[11pt,letterpaper,twoside]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[total={6in,10in},left=1.5in,top=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{here}

\begin{document}

\subsection{Subsection title}

Bla bla

{\centering
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|}
\hline
Name 1 & Name 2 & Name 3
\\ \hline
Text & Text & Text
\\ \hline
\end{tabularx}}

Bla bla

\begin{center}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}
\begin{tabularx}{\textwidth}{|X|X|X|}
\hline
Name 1 & Name 2 & Name 3
\\ \hline
Text & Text & Text
\\ \hline
\end{tabularx}
\end{center}

No Wombat in the table above. 
\end{document}

Just stick with using H.

[Cham]

Ok, thanks a lot. For the moment, I'll stick with the table environment (with [H]).

But I still have a strange Nag warning with that label inside a list. I don't know what to do, to solve this issue, and I'm yet unable to produce a MWE for this. I'll try something else.

[Johannes_B]

Nag is a script, without any intelligence. It might report false warnings.
The manual even tells you so, it can report false things and it might not pick up all bad things.
