However, the negative tex indexing works a treat with a negative <code>margin-top</code> of around 1em on the table. Now why couldn't I think of that? Cheers! :-) Nope. visibility:hiddencaption usage.

You could then shift the table up by about 10-15px with a negative margin-top. Changing the colour sounds the most spammy to me, but text-indent feels like legitimate practice.

But I'm wary of anything that might smack of spamming from the perspective of a search bot. I also thought of using the same colour for background and text.

caption {
