This is an example picture. I want to make my table like that.

enter image description here

Here what I am doing.

\documentclass{svjour3} \usepackage{tabularx} \captionsetup{labelfont=bf, justification=raggedleft, singlelinecheck=false, position=above} \begin{document} \begin{table}[ht] \caption{Definitions of symbols} \label{Symbols} % Give a unique label \begin{tabular}{ll} \hline\noalign{\smallskip} {Symbol} & {Definition} \\ \noalign{\smallskip}\hline\noalign{\smallskip} {$\mathcal{G}$} & Graph \\ {$\mathcal{M}$} & Adjacency matrix \\ {$N$} & Vertices \\ {$E$} & Edges \\ \noalign{\smallskip}\hline \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document}

    Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

A solution that uses the sidecap package:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage{tabularx,caption} \usepackage[leftcaption]{sidecap} \captionsetup{labelfont=bf, justification=raggedleft, singlelinecheck=false} \begin{document} \renewcommand{\sidecaptionsep}{1cm} % to be adjusted \begin{SCtable}[][ht] \caption{Definitions of symbols} \label{Symbols} % Give a unique label \begin{tabular}{ll} \hline\noalign{\smallskip} {Symbol} & {Definition} \\ \noalign{\smallskip}\hline\noalign{\smallskip} {$\mathcal{G}$} & Graph \\ {$\mathcal{M}$} & Adjacency matrix \\ {$N$} & Vertices \\ {$E$} & Edges \\ \noalign{\smallskip}\hline \end{tabular} \end{SCtable} \end{document}
