table : Table start

The table tag starts a table, as in HTML. A table can contain tr (table row), th (table header row) or caption tags. Any text surrounding the table must be enclosed in paragraph tags (p).

Example:

 <table>
 <caption>
 <var>TALignment</var> values and their meanings.
 </caption>
 <th><td>Value</td><td>Meaning</td></th>
 <tr>
   <td><var>taLeftJustify</var></td>
   <td>Text is displayed aligned to the left.</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
   <td><var>taRightJustify</var></td>
   <td>Text is displayed aligned to the right</td>
 </tr>
 <tr>
   <td><var>taCenter</var></td>
   <td>Text is displayed centred.</td>
 </tr>
 </table>
Will be formatted approximately as follows:

Value Meaning


taLeftJustify Text is displayed aligned to the left.
taRightJustify Text is displayed aligned to the right
taCenter Text is displayed centred.
