<array>

Array (Simple Tabulation)

Tabular arrangement of text in the narrative flow of the document. Unlike a <table-wrap>, an array does not contain a label, title, caption, or table headings (column heads).

Remarks

By default in this Tag Set, an <array> should use the XHTML 1.1 table body element (<tbody>) or a graphic (<graphic>) to express the rows and columns.) OASIS table users can set this element to use oasis:tbody.

Display/Formatting 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

Best Practice: 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>). The <array> model has been allowed to add such aspects as labels to capture the style of publishers who make a large distinction between numbered complex tables and unnumbered simple tables.

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>.

Content Model

<!ELEMENT  array        %array-model;                                >

cannot be related to a precise stratgraphic position within the excavated
succession; consequently faunal relationships cannot be expressed with certainty.
