Question

Hello *,

I have the following use case: A table have a section, subsection or subsubsection heading like:

    \section*{Table name}
    \begin{tabular*} ...
    \end{tabular*}

Because the table can appear in section, subsection etc. I thought I could define the table header and footer as macros and additionally pass the type of table heading (section, subsection, subsubsection, paragraph ...) So this requires me to have something like:

    \#1*{Table name}
    \begin{tabular*} ...
    \end{tabular*}

where #1 is the macro parameter passed. Is there any chance to achieve smth. like this?

Many thanks,
Ovanes
