<table> Table

A table (using the HTML model).

Usage/Remarks

Authoring Note
The @floatstyle and @orient attributes are not available in the authoring model, as they will have no effect in web display. For backwards-compatibility and possible future use, they are retained in the production model.
Display/Formatting Note
Typically, no @xreflabel is present. A generated label “Table X” (where “X” is a Roman numeral based on the order of <table> elements in the paper) will display, followed on a separate line by a caption (if one exists). Any <xref> to the table will display only the generated label as the cross-reference’s text, “Table I”. Brackets or other types of punctuation to enclose the cross-reference must be present in the narrative text.
If an @xreflabel is used (rare occurrence), its value (e.g., xreflabel="Tabulation 1") will display as a label, “Tabulation 1”. Any cross-reference (<xref>) to the table will display only the @xreflabel value as the text of the cross-reference; punctuation to enclose the cross-reference must be present in the narrative text.
