formattingtables
Is there any easy way to obtain something like this in LaTeX?
My guess was to try to make the first and third cell of the first row invisible, but then I lose the right and left border of the Main 1 cell… I didn't find any package that would allow to do this easily, so if you have any package name or trick (maybe it's fairly simple using standard LaTeX tables, I don't know), it would greatly help me.
It seems that you must have something like the following in your code, where you have height instead of \hline:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{|l|l|l|l|l|}
height
~ & $\theta$ & d & a & $\alpha$ \\ \hline
1 & 0 & 100 & 0 & $\pi$ \\
2 & 0 & 0 & 90 & 0 \\
3 & $\frac{\pi}{2}$ & 50 & 0 & 0 \\
height
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
The above produces the output you provided. With height in the above replaced with \hline (as per your MWE), I get the following. So, your MWE is correct, but check your actual code.
You can simply go
\begin{table}
\includegraphics{....
there is no requirement to use tabular in table or to use \includegraphics in figure
The commenters requested code to put the caption in both the lof and the lot, so in cse that is what you meant:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\listoftables
\listoffigures
\section{jkhgfv}
\begin{table}[h]
table
\caption[my (lot) table]{my table}
\addcontentsline{lof}{table}%
{\protect\numberline\thetable\ignorespaces my (lof) table}
\end{table}
\end{document}

No need of additional packages:
The first row could have been written also in the following way (so as to have the complete number of declared columns):
If you want to improve the quality of your table, then the
booktabspackage could be of interest (vertical rules won't now be allowed):Depending on the table contents, even some or all of the
\midrules could be suppressed.
