Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Centering equations in captions?

[jediwhelan]

Hi,

I've tried everything to get this working but to no avail. Basically, I need to be able to center equations in the captions of tables, i.e.,

\begin{table}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}[c]{l c c c c c c c c c }
\toprule

Headers...

\midrule

table data ...

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{This table reports blah blah blah \newline

\begin{equation}
... centered equation
\end{equation}

}
\label{ }
\end{center}
\end{table}

However, begin{equation} ... \end{equation} throws an error , and as far as I'm aware $$ ... $$ doesn't have the ability to center.

Many thanks in advance,
Paul

use a \parbox inside the \caption macro
