The EntryTbl element allows for a single level of nesting
within tables.
This element is expected to obey the semantics
of the CALS Table Model
Document Type Definition, as specified by
OASIS
Technical Memorandum TM 9502:1995
.
An entry table may occur in a row instead of an Entry.
EntryTbls have most of the elements of a table but
may not include themselves, thus limiting nesting to a single
level.
The content of EntryTbl is formatted, as a table,
to fit within the table cell that it occupies. Horizontal and vertical
spanning may allow an EntryTbl to occupy several physical cells
in the table that contains it.
If multiple EntryTbls occur in a single row, formatters
that support EntryTbl are not required to ensure that subrows
within the various tables are vertically aligned.
Many formatters are incapable of supporting EntryTbls.
This is an interchange issue. See Appendix F, Interchanging DocBook Documents.
Align specifies the horizontal alignment
of the EntryTbl in the cell in which it occurs. If no
alignment is specified, it is inherited from the ColSpec
for the current column, or the SpanSpec if this entry
occurs in a span.
Char specifies the alignment character when
the Align attribute is set to Char.
CharOff specifies the percentage of the
column's total width that should appear to the left of the first
occurance of the character identified in Char when the Align
attribute is set to Char. This attribute is inherited from
the relevant ColSpec or SpanSpec.
ColName identifies the column in which
this entry table should appear; it must have been previously defined in
a ColSpec. EntryTbls cannot be given out of order,
the column referenced must be to the right of the last Entry
or EntryTbl placed in the current row. It is an error
to specify both a ColName and a
SpanName.
Cols specifies the number of columns
in the EntryTbl.
If ColSep has the value 1 (true), then
a rule will be drawn to the right of this EntryTbl.
A value of 0 (false) suppresses the rule.
The rule to the right of the last column in the table is controlled by the
Frame attribute of the enclosing
Table or InformalTable and the
ColSep of an entry in the last column in the table
is ignored. If unspecified, this attribute is inherited from the
the corresponding ColSpec or SpanSpec and
enclosing elements.
NameEnd is the name (defined in a
ColSpec) of the rightmost column of a span.
On EntryTbl, specifying both NameSt
and NameEnd defines a horizontal span for the
current EntryTbl.
(See also SpanName.)
NameSt (“name start”) is the name
(defined in a ColSpec) of the leftmost column of a span.
On EntryTbl, specifying both NameSt and NameEnd
defines a horizontal span for the current EntryTbl. (See
also SpanName.)
If RowSep has the value 1 (true), then a
rule will be drawn below the EntryTbl. A value of 0 (false)
suppresses the rule. The rule below the last row in the table is
controlled by the Frame attribute of the
enclosing Table or InformalTable and the
RowSep of the last row is ignored. If
unspecified, this attribute is inherited from enclosing elements.
SpanName is the name (defined in a
SpanSpec) of a span. This cell will be rendered with the
specified horizontal span.
TGroupstyle holds the name of a
table group style defined in a stylesheet that
will be used to process this document.
