Help on using the <entrytbl> tag

Description The entrytbl tag takes the place of an entry, but fits into a single row of tbody in a tgroup. The content model is the same as that of a tgroup except that tfoot is ommitted and entrytbl is self-excluding.

Example

This CNXML:

<table id="periodic_table">
  <tgroup cols="2">
    <tbody>
      <row>
	<entrytbl cols="2">
	  <colspec colnum="1" colname="hyd1"/>
	  <colspec colnum="2" colname="hyd2"/>
	  <thead>
	    <row>
	      <entry namest="hyd1" nameend="hdy2">

Attributes (what's this?)

cols (required): Number of columns in the entrytbl.
- a number - The number of columns.
tgroupstyle (optional): A name of a style.
colname (optional): Colname of a colspec in the containing tgroup.
spanname (optional): Name of horizontal span named in a spanname attribute of a spanspec.
namest (optional): Name of the furthest left column in a span.
nameend (optional): Name of the furthest right column in a span.
colsep (optional): Sets whether the internal column rulings are displayed or not.
- 0 - Do not display column rulings.
- any other number - Display column rulings.
Default comes from the colspec of the column specified in the namest attribute.
rowsep (optional): Sets whether the internal row rulings are displayed or not.
- 0 - Do not display row rulings.
- any other number - Display row rulings.
Default comes from the colspec of the column specified in the namest attribute.
align (optional): Sets how the text will be aligned.
- 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 comes from the tgroupstyle attribute if it exists, otherwise from a containing spanspec or colspec, or tgroup or tgroupstyle, if they exist. If none of the others apply, use "left".
char (optional): The character used in the align attribute. Default is no aligning character.
charoff (optional): The pertcentage of the column width to the left of the char used in the align attribute. Default comes from the spanspec or colspec of a containing tgroup that matches the spanname attribute, if it exists, or namest attribute, if it exists, or colname attribute.
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).
