5.3.30 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>
