I provide two environments, mybraceleft and mybraceright, for conveniently bracing horizontal material. They both produce horizontal material (you can use them in the middle of a paragraph) of just the required size.
One notable property of my solution as compared to David's one is that it produces horizontal material that tightly wraps the tabular environments, or whatever you decide to use in their place (you don't have to guess the 0.45textwidth length). If you reduce the width of these elements, you'll see that my braces remain at the customizable distance myhsep from the braced contents, which is not the case with David's solution (you'll have a larger gap between braces and contents because the minipage will have more whitespace inside, on the left and on the right of the tabular material).
A tricky part of the work with the requirements I set is to find the appropriate width for centering two tabular environments and two captions that go together. For this, I use the eqparbox package. This package relies on proper use of tags (for each tag, it finds the maximum width and allows you to use it as a normal length—this is extremely convenient, great package!). Watch for the tags in the source, they go by three (one for a minipage that tightly encloses two tabular environments and their associated captions). This process requires to compile the document at least twice.
With no table environment
In this solution, the table environment isn't used, therefore nothing floats. This is mainly boxing work. captionof from the caption package is used to produce the customary appearance of standard table captions.

Wrapping braced material inside tables
This is close to the previous example, the only difference is that we allow two big chunks (each containing four tabular environments) to float. Thus, we use the table environment and can use caption instead of captionof. No need for the caption package in this case. This is similar to what David did, except for the input syntax (mybraceleft and mybraceright here) and horizontal spacing around the braces: my braces stay at a constant, customizable distance from the braced material (myhsep).
As already mentioned, this requires two compilation runs to allow eqparbox to do its work.

I am wondering if you could solve this problem.
– user121799
1 hour ago
@user121799 Well, well, well... I love parsing tasks (cf. link title), unfortunately the question you linked to is about 3D in TikZ and I haven't explored this field yet. I'm not even sure I understand what is missing from the already-accepted answer. I guess it has to do with the internal representation of 3D points in TikZ and how they undergo transformations, but I'm afraid I'm still too ignorant in these areas to contribute. :-/

OK, well. Anyway, maybe you can keep this question in the back of your mind if you ever go 3d. It would be great if one could somehow associate three instead of two coordinates to a symbolic coordinate, and if then veclen would spit out the distance between those. And so on. All my attempts to make 3d operations simpler struggled with that obstacle.

I provide two environments, mybraceleft and mybraceright, for conveniently bracing horizontal material. They both produce horizontal material (you can use them in the middle of a paragraph) of just the required size.
One notable property of my solution as compared to David's one is that it produces horizontal material that tightly wraps the tabular environments, or whatever you decide to use in their place (you don't have to guess the 0.45textwidth length). If you reduce the width of these elements, you'll see that my braces remain at the customizable distance myhsep from the braced contents, which is not the case with David's solution (you'll have a larger gap between braces and contents because the minipage will have more whitespace inside, on the left and on the right of the tabular material).
A tricky part of the work with the requirements I set is to find the appropriate width for centering two tabular environments and two captions that go together. For this, I use the eqparbox package. This package relies on proper use of tags (for each tag, it finds the maximum width and allows you to use it as a normal length—this is extremely convenient, great package!). Watch for the tags in the source, they go by three (one for a minipage that tightly encloses two tabular environments and their associated captions). This process requires to compile the document at least twice.
With no table environment
In this solution, the table environment isn't used, therefore nothing floats. This is mainly boxing work. captionof from the caption package is used to produce the customary appearance of standard table captions.

Wrapping braced material inside tables
This is close to the previous example, the only difference is that we allow two big chunks (each containing four tabular environments) to float. Thus, we use the table environment and can use caption instead of captionof. No need for the caption package in this case. This is similar to what David did, except for the input syntax (mybraceleft and mybraceright here) and horizontal spacing around the braces: my braces stay at a constant, customizable distance from the braced material (myhsep).
As already mentioned, this requires two compilation runs to allow eqparbox to do its work.

I am wondering if you could solve this problem.
– user121799

@user121799 Well, well, well... I love parsing tasks (cf. link title), unfortunately the question you linked to is about 3D in TikZ and I haven't explored this field yet. I'm not even sure I understand what is missing from the already-accepted answer. I guess it has to do with the internal representation of 3D points in TikZ and how they undergo transformations, but I'm afraid I'm still too ignorant in these areas to contribute. :-/

OK, well. Anyway, maybe you can keep this question in the back of your mind if you ever go 3d. It would be great if one could somehow associate three instead of two coordinates to a symbolic coordinate, and if then veclen would spit out the distance between those. And so on. All my attempts to make 3d operations simpler struggled with that obstacle.

Wrapping braced material inside tables
This is close to the previous example, the only difference is that we allow two big chunks (each containing four tabular environments) to float. Thus, we use the table environment and can use caption instead of captionof. No need for the caption package in this case. This is similar to what David did, except for the input syntax (mybraceleft and mybraceright here) and horizontal spacing around the braces: my braces stay at a constant, customizable distance from the braced material (myhsep).
As already mentioned, this requires two compilation runs to allow eqparbox to do its work.

I am wondering if you could solve this problem.

@user121799 Well, well, well... I love parsing tasks (cf. link title), unfortunately the question you linked to is about 3D in TikZ and I haven't explored this field yet. I'm not even sure I understand what is missing from the already-accepted answer. I guess it has to do with the internal representation of 3D points in TikZ and how they undergo transformations, but I'm afraid I'm still too ignorant in these areas to contribute. :-/

OK, well. Anyway, maybe you can keep this question in the back of your mind if you ever go 3d. It would be great if one could somehow associate three instead of two coordinates to a symbolic coordinate, and if then veclen would spit out the distance between those. And so on. All my attempts to make 3d operations simpler struggled with that obstacle.

I provide two environments, mybraceleft and mybraceright, for conveniently bracing horizontal material. They both produce horizontal material (you can use them in the middle of a paragraph) of just the required size.
One notable property of my solution as compared to David's one is that it produces horizontal material that tightly wraps the tabular environments, or whatever you decide to use in their place (you don't have to guess the 0.45textwidth length). If you reduce the width of these elements, you'll see that my braces remain at the customizable distance myhsep from the braced contents, which is not the case with David's solution (you'll have a larger gap between braces and contents because the minipage will have more whitespace inside, on the left and on the right of the tabular material).
A tricky part of the work with the requirements I set is to find the appropriate width for centering two tabular environments and two captions that go together. For this, I use the eqparbox package. This package relies on proper use of tags (for each tag, it finds the maximum width and allows you to use it as a normal length—this is extremely convenient, great package!). Watch for the tags in the source, they go by three (one for a minipage that tightly encloses two tabular environments and their associated captions). This process requires to compile the document at least twice.
With no table environment
In this solution, the table environment isn't used, therefore nothing floats. This is mainly boxing work. captionof from the caption package is used to produce the customary appearance of standard table captions.

I am wondering if you could solve this problem.

@user121799 Well, well, well... I love parsing tasks (cf. link title), unfortunately the question you linked to is about 3D in TikZ and I haven't explored this field yet. I'm not even sure I understand what is missing from the already-accepted answer. I guess it has to do with the internal representation of 3D points in TikZ and how they undergo transformations, but I'm afraid I'm still too ignorant in these areas to contribute. :-/

OK, well. Anyway, maybe you can keep this question in the back of your mind if you ever go 3d. It would be great if one could somehow associate three instead of two coordinates to a symbolic coordinate, and if then veclen would spit out the distance between those. And so on. All my attempts to make 3d operations simpler struggled with that obstacle.

You really want the braces not to encompass the “Table 2” and “Table 4” captions?

@frougon I think either way is probably fine. Dealers choice :) Or both if you know both. Someone else might need the alternative
