Tables (table1, split)

Provide elements for tables. Tables can in general be very complex. Here I have initially chosen for a very simple table, historically named table1. The idea is to have tables defined just by their rows and cells and let the styling do the format. The split element is in effect a one row/two cell table that divides the text into two columns.

7.2.1. table1

*tag*	*purpose*	*attributes*	*child element*
table1	define a simple table	optional border="true\|false"	row
row	row within a table1	none	cell
cell	single cell in a table/row	optional colspan="num" and rowspan="num"	any from text.dtd

7.2.2. split

*tag*	*purpose*	*attributes*	*child element*
split	define split (two column) output	none	left and left
left	define left column	none	any from text.dtd
right	define right column	none	any from text.dtd
