<table-wrap>

Table Wrapper

Wrapper element for a complete table, including the tabular material, caption (including title), footnotes, and alternative descriptions of the table for purposes of accessibility.

Remarks

This element has also been designed to capture a construct named “table” that contains just a graphic or a list, rather than the explicit rows and columns of a table element, which should be defined by the XHTML 1.1 <table> because many publishers associate table captions and numbers with material that is not explicitly tabular.

Within the <table-wrap> element, the row and column tags that describe the table cells should be defined by the XHTML 1.1 table model.

Design Note: Many journal tag sets use an element called “Table Footnote” (with a tag such as <tblfn>) for footnotes inside a table. This Tag Set uses <fn> inside tables, as well as everywhere else, relying instead on context to differentiate table footnotes. Footnotes inside a <table-wrap> are assumed to be footnotes to the table and, as part of the table, are displayed at the bottom of the table, usually as part of the <table-wrap-foot>, rather than at the bottom of the page or otherwise separated from the display of the table.

Position: The @position attribute may be used to indicate whether a <table-wrap> must be anchored at its exact location within the text or whether it may float, for example, to the top of the next page, into the next column, to the end of a logical file, or within a separate window.

The <table> element should be defined by the public XHTML 1.1 table model. This element is not, in itself, a full table, but 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 full table, that is, both rows and columns as well as captions and footers. A full table (<table-wrap>) may or may not include an actual <table> element within it, because other constructions, such as 2-part lists, may also be given table titles, captions, etc.

XHTML 1.1 Table Processing Note: 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.

OASIS CALS Table Processing Note: In the original draft of this Tag Set, when the OASIS Exchange model was also part of the Tag Set, the %titles; parameter entity for the OASIS table model was set to the null string (""), since the table title <title> was considered to be part of this Tag Set’s <table-wrap> element. The OASIS model was also given a namespace prefix to differentiate it from the XHTML 1.1 table model element names. No other changes were necessary to the OASIS table content model.
