captions in LaTeX tables are not rendered

[apepe]

If I feed a simple LaTeX table to Pandoc (1.12.3), e.g.

\begin{table}[h!]
\begin{tabular}{ll}
x&y\\
\end{tabular}
\caption{A caption}
\end{table}

and convert it to HTML using pandoc -s table.tex -o table.html
the resulting table will lack the caption (moreover, it also prints the characters '[h!]' which is just for table positioning):

<p>[h!]</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="odd">
<td align="left">x</td>
<td align="left">y</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
