entry has these attributes...

[The following definitions have been extracted from http://www.oasis-open.org/specs/a502.htm.]

align

Horizontal alignment of table entry content.

Text horizontal position within the column or spanning columns. Applies to text that is #PCDATA or other inline elements not further contained in another element with its own formatting style, such as paragraph, list, or annotation though such elements could inherit their alignment from this value.

The enumerated values are:

Value	Alignment
left	Flush left
center	Centered
right	Flush right
justify	Flush left and right
char	Align text to the leftmost occurrence of the value of non-null attribute char value.

IMPLIED (means use value from nearest applicable colspec of the nearest ancestral tgroup. If none, then "left".)

Value(s)

left
right
center
justify
char

Default Value

#IMPLIED

char

Alignment character.

If character alignment is specified, the value of the char attribute is the single alignment character on which the first to occur of this character in the entry is aligned. A value of "" (the null string) means there is no alignment character. If there is no alignment character or the alignment character does not occur in the entry, the entry right aligns to the left of the charoff position.

IMPLIED, from colspec else there is no aligning character.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

charoff

Horizontal offset of alignment character.

When character alignment is specified for this entry, horizontal character offset is the percent of the current column width to the left of the (left edge of the) alignment character.

This value should be number, greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100.

IMPLIED, from colspec else "50" (i.e., 50%).

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

colname

Column name of entry. Ignore if namest is present. It is an error if colname is not defined in a colspec of the current tgroup.

Declared value

NMTOKEN

Default

IMPLIED (column(s) determined by namest or implicitly the next.)

-->

Value(s)

NMTOKEN

Default Value

#IMPLIED

colsep

Column separators (vertical ruling).

If other than zero, display the internal vertical column ruling at the right of the entry; if zero, do not display it. Ignored for the last column of a row, where the frame setting applies. The colsep value is determined by the leftmost column of a spanning entry, even though its effect is on the last column of such spanning entry.

IMPLIED, from the closest element in the inheritance path:
colspec then
tgroup then
table.

Note that if a tgroup or table element has no explicit specification for this attribute but does have an associated style sheet that gives a specification for this attribute, then this value shall be used as the value that is inherited from this element.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

morerows

Number of additional rows in a vertical span.

There shall be at least that many more rows in the appropriate thead or tbody. Any entries with morerows that would attempt to extend further downward is an error. The rowsep is determined when the entry is processed, in the top row if morerows is positive.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

nameend

Name of ending column for this entry

Name of rightmost column of span. The value must be some colname in a colspec of the current tgroup. The column must be to the right of the column identified by namest. A nameend attribute without a namest is ignored.

Value(s)

NMTOKEN

Default Value

#IMPLIED

namest

Name of starting column for this entry

Name of leftmost column of span. The value must be some colname in a colspec of the current tgroup. A namest on an entry with no nameend specification indicates the single column so named, though colname is usually used for such a specification. If neither namest nor colname occur, the entry goes in the next column in sequence to the right, skipping over any encroachment from a prior row via entry morerows=N. It is an error if the namest value is not defined in a colspec for the current tgroup.

Value(s)

NMTOKEN

Default Value

#IMPLIED

rotate

Whether the contents of the cell should be rotated. Values should be in degrees preceded by '-' for counter-clockwise or '+' for clockwise. [?CHECK THIS - NOT INCLUDED IN EXCHANGE MODEL?]

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

rowsep

Row separators (horizontal ruling).

If other than zero, display the internal horizontal row ruling below the entry; if zero, do not display it. Ignored for the last row of tgroup where the table frame applies. Rowsep for the entry is determined in the topmost row in which the entry occurs, even though its effect may be morerows below.

IMPLIED, from the closest element in the inheritance path:
row then
colspec then
tgroup then
table.

Value(s)

CDATA

Default Value

#IMPLIED

valign

Vertical alignment

Text vertical positioning within the entry.

The enumerated values are:

Value	Alignment
top	top
middle	approximately vertically centered
bottom	bottom

IMPLIED from the closest ancestor with explicit specification of valign:
row then
thead or tbody.

Value(s)

top
middle
bottom

Default Value

#IMPLIED
