The <table> element organizes arbitrarily
complex relationships of tabular information. This standard table markup allows
column or row spanning and table captions or descriptions. A optional title
allowed inside the table element provides a caption to describe the table.
See simpletable for a simplified
table model that can be specialized to represent more regular relationships
of data.
The <tgroup> element in a table contains
column, row, spanning, header and footer specifications, and the body (<tbody>)
of the table.
The <colspec> element contains a column specification
for a table, including assigning a column name and number, cell content alignment,
and column width.
The table header (<thead>) element precedes
the table body (<tbody>) element in a complex table.
The <tbody> element contains the rows in
a table.
The <row> element contains a single row in
a table <tgroup>.
The <entry> element defines a single cell
in a table.
