I have a table that is in scriptsize
and when compile my code numbers itself at 2.2 instead of 2.1. It is intended for my second chapter. Does anyone know what I should do to start numbering this table at 2.1?
Thanks in advance!
\begin{table}[h]

\scriptsize
\label{table:2.1}
\setlength{\extrarowheight}{2pt}
\captionsetup{skip=0.5\baselineskip,size=scriptsize}

, instead I'd choose something that can't change even if the order of your document should change in the future, something like\label{tab:metacompetence}
. Also you must use\label
after the\caption
or (even better) inside the mandatory argument of the\caption
macro. – Skillmon Mar 9 '19 at 12:54\label
should come after\caption
. Currently\label
picks up the last counter that was stepped up before the table (that might be a subsection or section counter or something else entirely). See also tex.stackexchange.com/q/32325/35864, tex.stackexchange.com/q/7/35864 – moewe Mar 9 '19 at 13:06\label
has to be after (or better, in)`\caption
or can not work, but for your main question, post a small complete document that shows the problem. Currently you are including a large tabular that has no effect on the numbering, but are not including any code from earlier in the document that has set the counter to the wrong value, so it is hard to offer any help. – David Carlisle Mar 9 '19 at 13:41
