If I use the table*
environment and the table is wide, the caption starts inside the table. Here is the example
\documentclass{tufte-book}
\begin{document}
\begin{table*}[h!]
\begin{tabular}{l}
This will be a wide table so that the caption will start inside the table, unfortunately\\
This will be a wide table so that the caption will start inside the table, unfortunately\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Notations}
\label{table:toowide}
\end{table*}
\end{document}
I certainly could use a \bigskip
before the \caption
as a workaround, but I think moving the caption furher to the right would be preferrable.
