The attributes of this empty element specify the presentation characteristics of entries in a column of a table.
Each ColSpec
refers to a single column. Columns are numbered
sequentially from left to right in the table. If the
ColNum
attribute is not specified, the
ColSpec
is for the next column after the preceeding
ColSpec
or column 1 if it is the first ColSpec
.
Suppressed. 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 .
Align
specifies the horizontal alignment
of Entry
s (or EntryTbl
s) in the column. The
default alignment is inherited from the enclosing TGroup
.
If Char
is specified, see also
Char
and
CharOff
.
Individual Entry
s and
EntryTbl
s can specify an alternate alignment.
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 enclosing TGroup
.
ColName
gives a symbolic name to a column.
The symbolic name can then be used in subsequent Entry
s and
SpanSpec
s to identify the column.
ColNum
gives the number of the column defined
by this ColSpec
. If not specified, this ColSpec
describes the next column to the right of the column defined by the previous
ColSpec
or the first column (column 1) if this is the first
ColSpec
.
If ColSep
has the value 1 (true), then
a rule will be drawn to the right of the column described by this
ColSpec
. 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 the last column in the table
is ignored. If unspecified, this attribute is inherited from
enclosing elements. Individual Entry
s or EntryTbl
s
can override the ColSpec
setting of this attribute.
ColWidth
specifies the desired width of the
relevant column. It can be either a fixed measure using one of the
CALS units (36pt, 10pc, etc.) or a proportional measure. Proportional
measures have the form “number*
”, meaning
this column should be number times wider than a column with
the measure “1*
” (or just “*
”). These two
forms can be mixed, as in “3*+1pc
”.
If RowSep
has the value 1 (true), then a
rule will be drawn below the cells in the specified column. 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.
Individual Entry
s or EntryTbl
s
can override the ColSpec
setting of this attribute.
