Docbook, turn off table numbering

As the title reflects I want to turn off the numbering of tables.

The reason is that the tables already have custom numbering (nested in the xml code).

Any suggestion is apperciated.

Solution

  • Simple solution:

    You can use the <informaltable> element for creating tables without any title at all. If you need a title, embrace the informaltable with a <simplesect>.

    Not-so-simple solution:

    If you really need <table> elements, read this description how to customize your stylesheet accordingly:
