+\subsection{Tables with \texttt{booktabs}}
 
+JSys recommends using the \texttt{booktabs} package, which provides the \texttt{toprule}, \texttt{midrule}, and \texttt{bottomrule} commands with much nicer spacing around horizontal lines. Table's caption should be placed {below} the table; centering is optional. Table text font is set to \texttt{small} by default. \textbf{Do not} make it any smaller; larger is fine.
+
+The template also includes the \texttt{tabularx} and \texttt{multirow} packages, which should fill most table-related needs.
