<informaltable>
This is the table type used most in TDE Documentation. Please be very
sure that what you are marking up as a table, is actually tabular data,
as in many cases a <variablelist>
is
more appropriate. Please do not use any of the presentation attributes
to make tables “look nice”. The only attribute currently
allowed in TDE Documents is pgwide
.
An <informaltable>
must contain a
<tgroup cols="">
entry. Informal
tables have no specific title, if you wish the table to be titled and to
have an entry in the table of contents, you should use <table>
. Do
not use any attributes other than pgwide
on tables or informal tables for
TDE documentation.
<table>
A formal table with a title. Tables will have their own separate entry
in the table of contents. Other than the addition of a title, they are
marked up the same as an <informaltable>
.
<tgroup
cols="">
A <tgroup>
is a required element in a
table. The cols
attribute is
required, and should be completed with the number of columns the table
is to hold. No other attributes used in TDE Documentation.
A tgroup
must contain a tbody
<tbody>
A tbody
is a required element in a
table. There are no attributes. The tbody
contains rows.
<row>
A row
corresponds directly with the
rows of the table. Rows contain <entry>
tags, one for each column in the table,
as specified by the cols
attribute
on the <tgroup>
tag.
<entry>
The entry is the basic building block of a table. Each entry corresponds
to one “data cell” in the table. There must be as many
<entry>
tags in each row as the
cols
attribute on the <tgroup>
tag.
There are no attributes used in TDE Documentation.
<thead>
<thead>
can be used to create a
heading row for the table. It must appear before the tbody
element, and should normally contain one
row
and as many entry
elements as the rest of the table.
<tfoot>
<tfoot>
is not currently used in
TDE Documentation. If you want to use it, please see the Duck book
for information.
