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.)
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.
