    ã|Description:ã%
A table is a presentation of information in columns.  The \tabletitle markup
centers  the title  and puts  that  title in  the table  of  contents.   The
\tabletitle markup does not print  the actual table, you must use \halign or
\settabs to accomplish that.

\tabletitle only  prints the table  title in the  text and  places the title
in the table  of contents.   Use \halign or \settabs  to construct the table
itself.
