We need this basic table feature as well. Looking for the ability to produce standard HTML table captions like:

<table>
  <caption>My table description</caption>
  ...
</table>

We need this feature as well to pass WCAG Audits of our tables.

I'm currently using a terribly hacky workaround: In the TT editor I allow the user to create a <blockquote> with class "table-caption" (because BQ is the only container element that works here) in the first row, inside which they can have only H2/3 or P tags. Then in my Umbraco-powered JSON I look for this blockquote and extract its content into a <caption> tag before serving HTML to the browser. (One could also do this with client-side JS after serving but I wouldn't advise it.)

We really shouldn't have to dig around to make workarounds for basic semantic HTML in an HTML editor! -- while also polluting our CMS source HTML.

That’s quite the hack indeed. Not something particularly user friendly and indeed polluting the CMS. Besides this caption issue we’re also missing the tag availability.
