7.2.1 Side-by-Side Tables
You can create side-by-side tables using an analogous method to the side-by-side figures approach described above.
Example:
This example is similar to the one in §7.1.1. Side-By-Side Figures. Again, take care to ensure that there is no paragraph break between the two minipage environments.
\begin{table}
\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
\caption{Prices for 2011}
\label{tab:prices2011}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lr}
Item & Price (£)\\
Widgets & 10.99\\
Whatsits & 5.99
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}%
%
\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
\caption{Prices for 2012}
\label{tab:prices2012}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lr}
Item & Price (
\pounds)\\
Widgets & 11.99\\
Whatsits & 6.99
\end{tabular}
\end{minipage}%
\end{table}
This produces Tables 7.2 and 7.3.
