<table>

Table (XHTML table model)

Definition

The rows and columns part of a full table. The standard XHTML table model has been used to take advantage of existing software for table handling. For more complete information on this table model, see the documentation for the HTML 4.0 (XHTML) table model. (Note: The <table> element is usually just part of what would be called a “table” in print; a full table may include a table caption, a table title, table footnotes, introductory paragraphs, etc., and is created using the <table-wrap> element.)

Remarks

The standard XHMTL model has been modified to remove the <caption> element from within the <table> element, because, in the base DTD Suite, the <caption> element has been made part of the Table Wrapper <table-wrap> element.

Related Elements

The <table> element is an element defined by a public table model such as the XHTML table model. This element is not, in itself, a full table, but only the rows and columns portions of a table. A full table may have other features, such as a title, caption, table footnotes, etc. The <table-wrap> element contains the full table. A full table may or may not include a <table> element within it, since other constructions, such as two-part lists, may also be given table titles, captions, etc.
