(I feel like this issue has been raised before.)

#824

Editorial meeting:

• Review all table labels.
• Expose label as "tab:blah".

This needs substantial work. Almost all labels seem to be overly long or nondescript. Suggested rules:

• If a subclause consists predominantly of a table, use the same label as the subclause label (plus tab: prefix). Example: tab:lex.key, tab:lex.digraph.
• For concepts tables, just use the flat name as-is. Example: tab:copyconstructible.
• Otherwise, use at least some parts in common with the subclause label. Example: tab:temp.fold.empty.

What's the desired formatting of the table label? I currently have "bold", but I feel I need a bit more space separating it from the prose caption text:

Should the label be repeated for continued captions of longtables?

Editorial meeting:

• Second rule: Use cpp17.conceptname. DONE
• Do not make the label bold. DONE
• Separate label from caption text by \quad. DONE
• Separate table number from caption text by \quad or colon (show screenshots of both options). Remove mdash. Try to be consistent with subclause titles. SEE BELOW
• Make figure captions the same as table captions, except for before/after placement. DONE
• Check linebreaks in captions. SEE BELOW
• Do not repeat the label in continued captions of longtables. DONE

Sample 1: separate table number from caption text by colon

Sample 2: separate table number from caption text by \quad

Sample figure:

Sample linebreak:

My preference is for the colon between the number and the caption.

(I also prefer the colon.) Thanks Jens!

Added a "labels" section to the wiki style guidelines.
