Attributes(what's this?)

cols (required): Number of columns in the entrytbl. Must be a positive integer.
colname (optional): Name referring to the "colname" attribute in the corresponding colspec for the entrytbl's column.
spanname (optional): Name of horizontal spanning of columns. Must correspond to the value of a "spanname" attribute in a spanspec of the ancestor tgroup.
namest (optional): Name of the furthest left column in a horizontal spanning of columns. Must correspond to the value of a "colname" attribute in a colspec of the ancestor tgroup.
nameend (optional): Name of the furthest right column in a horizontal spanning of columns. Must correspond to the value of a "colname" attribute in a colspec of the ancestor tgroup.
colsep (optional): Sets whether the internal column rulings are displayed or not (ignored for the rightmost column of the table, where the "frame" value applies).
Possible values:
- 0 - Do not display column rulings.
- any other integer - Display column rulings.
Default is implied from the nearest ancestor with a declared or implied "colsep" value (spanspec specified by the "spanname" attribute, colspec, or tgroup).
rowsep (optional): Sets whether the internal row rulings are displayed or not (ignored for the last row of the table, where the "frame" value applies).
Possible values:
- 0 - Do not display row rulings.
- any other integer - Display row rulings.
Default is implied from the nearest ancestor with a declared or implied "rowsep" value (row, spanspec specified by the "spanname" attribute, colspec, or tgroup).
align (optional): Sets how the text will be aligned.
Possible values:
- left - Left aligned.
- right - Right aligned.
- center - Center aligned.
- justify - Right and left aligned.
- char - Aligns to the leftmost occurrence of the value of the char attribute.
Default is implied from the nearest ancestor with a declared or implied "align" value (spanspec specified by the "spanname" attribute, colspec, or tgroup).
char (optional): The character used in the align attribute. Default is implied from the nearest ancestor with a declared or implied "char" value (spanspec specified by the "spanname" attribute, colspec, or tgroup).
charoff (optional): The pertcentage of the column width to the left of the char used in the align attribute. Default is implied from the nearest ancestor with a declared or implied "charoff" value (spanspec specified by the "spanname" attribute, colspec, or tgroup).
id (optional): A unique identifier, whose value must begin with a letter and contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, colons, and/or periods (no spaces).
