colname Column Name (OASIS Table Model)

The name of one of the columns of a table, used to identify it for column assignment and column spanning (See related attributes @namest and @nameend.)

Usage/Remarks

Horizontal spanning in tables is accomplished by placing the content to be spanned in a table cell (<oasis:entry>) and using its @namest and @nameend attributes to indicate the column on which the span should start and the column on which the span should end (inclusive). Both attributes indicate a column by column name (the content of the @colname attribute).
The official OASIS Exchange (CALS) Table Model documentation can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/specs/a502.htm
OPTIONAL on elements: <oasis:colspec>, <oasis:entry>
Value Meaning
A name An alphanumeric string, which may begin with either a letter or a number, that acts as a name for referencing the column
Restriction @colname is an optional attribute; there is no default.
