# Two dots after “Table 1” in a table caption

In my latex file I use the following table

\begin{table}[H]
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|r|r|r||r|r|}
\hline
& \multicolumn{2}{|c||}{$\F \cong F_r$} & \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Generic $\F$}\\
\hline
$i$ & $i=0$ & $i=1$ & $i=0$ & $i=1$ \\
\hline
$0$ & $1$ & $0$  & $0$   & $0$   \\
$1$ & $r$ & $0$  & $r$   & $0$   \\
$2$ & $r$ & $1$  & $r-d$ & $0$   \\
$3$ & $1$ & $r$  & $d$   & $r$   \\
$4$ & $0$ & $r$  & $0$   & $r-d$ \\
$5$ & $0$ & $1$  & $0$   & $d$   \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{My caption}
\end{center}
\end{table}


But in pdf I'm getting two dots after Table 1:

Why is this happening and how I can fix this?

• Welcome! It'd be helpful if you complete your code snippet to a minimal working example: a short document that starts with \documentclass and ends with \end{document} and contains as few lines of code/text as are necessary to reproduce the issue. It is impossible to tell what the problem is from just this fragment. – Circumscribe Feb 9 at 11:39
• Either you're loading caption package and have a strange labelseparator setup or \thetable is wrongly definied or uses \Alph{...} etc. printing nothing when the counter value is zero – Christian Hupfer Feb 9 at 11:43
• @Christian Hupfer Thank! That helped. – Alex Feb 10 at 11:15
• @Alex: Please post either your working solution (cut down to the bare minimum such that it is compilable for others, of course) or delete the question... – Christian Hupfer Feb 10 at 14:36
• Please don't use the [H] placement parameter. See HEINOUS – Peter Wilson Feb 10 at 19:33
