Table Management

Tables for the manuscript. Place source files in caption_and_media/; compiled output is auto-generated in compiled/.

Directory Structure

Naming Convention

Format: `XX_description.{csv,tex}`

XX: Two-digit table number (01, 02, ...)
_description: Descriptive name using underscores
Each table needs TWO files with the same basename:
.csv (or .xlsx) - the data
.tex - the caption

Examples

01_demographic_data.csv    + 01_demographic_data.tex
02_model_performance.csv   + 02_model_performance.tex

Files that don't start with digits are silently ignored by compilation.

Caption Template

\caption{\textbf{
Table Title Here
}
\smallskip
\\
Description of the table contents and methodology.
}
\label{tab:01_example_table}

The \label{tab:XX_description} must match the file basename.

CSV Format

Parameter,Value,Unit
Length,10.5,cm
Width,5.2,cm

Use comma as separator
Include a header row for column names
CSV is auto-converted to LaTeX tabular format during compilation

Validation

Run make check before compilation to verify naming conventions.

## Naming Convention
### Format: `XX_description.{csv,tex}`
- `XX`: Two-digit table number (01, 02, ...)
- `_description`: Descriptive name using underscores
- Each table needs TWO files with the same basename:
  - `.csv` (or `.xlsx`) - the data
  - `.tex` - the caption
### Examples
```
01_demographic_data.csv    + 01_demographic_data.tex
02_model_performance.csv   + 02_model_performance.tex
```
Files that don't start with digits are **silently ignored** by compilation.
## Caption Template
```latex
\caption{\textbf{
Table Title Here
}
\smallskip
\\
Description of the table contents and methodology.
}
\label{tab:01_example_table}
```
The `\label{tab:XX_description}` must match the file basename.
## Referencing Tables
