Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Captions on side-by-side tables using minipage command

[lnich]

Hi,

I was wondering why I am unable to see table caption using \minipage command: apparently right-side table caption overlaps left-side table caption but I do not understand why. Can someone help me? I leave the Latex code I wrote.

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:

More context, please, so that we can reproduce the problem.

Some recommendations for packages that may be useful for the example in some way:

• mhchem/chemformula
• siunitx
• booktabs and tabsatz (not a package, but may offer a different view of the table design)
• varwidth and threeparttable

If none of the sets of options of the table environment suits you, then replace it by a minipage in a center environment.

You don't need \captionof in the table environment.

Labels must be unique.
