<table>

Table (NISO JATS table model)

The rows and columns part of a full table. (This element is based on and intended to be converted easily to the XHMTL table element.)

Remarks

By default, the NISO JATS table model (based on and designed to be converted easily to the XHTML 1.1 table model) should be used as defined in the XHTML 1.1 table model, to take advantage of existing software for table handling.
This element contains only the rows and columns of the table, which is typically just part of what would be called a “table” in print or display. A full table might also include a table number (label), a table title, a table caption, table notes and footnotes, introductory paragraphs, etc., so a full table is tagged using the <table-wrap> element. If the complex table contains rows and columns, <table-wrap> will contain a <table> as well as other content.
The standard XHMTL model has been modified to remove the <caption> element from within the <table> element, because, in the base Suite, the <caption> element has been made part of the <table-wrap> element.

Related Elements

The <table> element is an element defined by the NISO JATS table model (based on and designed to be converted easily to the XHTML 1.1 table model). The <table> element is not, by itself, a full table, including only the rows and columns portions of a table. A full table may have other features, such as a title, caption, table footnotes, etc. The <table-wrap> element contains the elements of a full table. Note: A full table may or may not include a <table> element within it, since other constructions, such as 2-part lists, may also be given table titles, captions, etc.
