<array>

Array (Simple Tabular Array)

Defines an arrangement of material in rows and columns that is not a true table but merely a small block of one or more rows and columns in the flow of the narrative, typically presented as a block with space before it and after it. (Uses the XHTML table body element or a graphic to express the rows and columns.)

Remarks

Display Note: An <array> element is not allowed to float; it is tied to its position in the text. True tables are allowed to float in text or be anchored, as determined by the value of their @position attribute.

Related Elements

Conversion Note: A typical <array> has no label, title, or caption. Row and column material that has labels, titles, or captions should be tagged as a table element (<table-wrap>).

A graphic containing simple tabular material that occurs within a paragraph or between two paragraphs should be tagged as an <array>, not merely as a loose <graphic> or as a <fig> or <table>.
