+You can set |mincapwidth| to a large value, say |\hsize|, if you want a one-line
+caption. Note, however, that this may influence the horizontal positioning of
+the table: values larger than |\hsize| will move a centered table out of the
+center, a value of |\hsize| will prevent the |left| and |right| options to do
+their work, because the table is already captured between the left and right
+margins.

+\subsection{\ttfamily\bfseries maxwidth}
+When \LaTeX-sources containing tables are generated automatically by a
+script, it is often not known in advance what the maximum size of an |l|
+column will be. A good solution for this is to use an |X| specifier,
+typesetting the table at the text width with the tabularx package.
+However, this will result in too much white space in cases where the
+column contains small texts only. This problem can be solved by using
+the maxwidth option instead of the width option. The |X| specifiers will
+then be replaced with |l| as long as the width of the resulting table
+stays with the specified maximum width.
