Used to hold a complete table, that is, not only the rows and columns that make up a table but also the table’s caption or title, list of table footnotes, alternative descriptions for accessibility, etc.
Within the Table Wrapper element, the row and column tags that describe the table cells are defined by one of the popular “standard” table models, for example, the XHTML table model or the OASIS Exchange (CALS) table model.
The extended table model of this element has also been designed to allow for a “table” that is just a graphic or a list, rather than the explicit rows and columns of a table element such as XHTML <table>.
Authoring and Conversion Note: Many journal DTDs use an element called “Table Footnote” (with a tag such as <tblfn>) for footnotes inside a table. This DTD uses <fn> inside tables as well as everywhere else, relying instead on context to differentiate table footnotes. Footnotes inside a Table Wrapper are assumed to be footnotes to the table and part of the table, i.e., displayed at the bottom of the table, not at the bottom of the page or otherwise separated from the display of the table.
