Tables (ePistolarium)

Tables are encoded with the table, row, and cell elements.

• table contains text displayed in tabular form, in rows and columns.

• row contains one row of a table.

• cell contains one cell of a table.

Each row in a table should have the same number of columns. This is usually the number of cells in a row. However, if a cell element has a rows attribute, its value indicates the number of columns occupied by this cell.

If a row contains a labeling of the columns in the table, this is accomplished by adding a role="header" attribute to the cells in that row.
