> 25 Generating WAI markup for HTML > 25.4 Applying WAI markup to tables > 25.4.3 Providing table summary and title information > 25.4.3.2 Using a dedicated format for table summary or title
You can designate a paragraph format whose content
will be the value of the summary
attribute
for the next table in your document. For example, suppose you use paragraph
format TblSum for this purpose:
; Summary makes current para content into summary for table tag
Somewhere in each table (or just before the table)
you would insert a TblSum paragraph
containing the summary for that table. Probably you would make that paragraph
conditional so it would not appear in print. The Delete
property would exclude the paragraph (as such) from HTML output; HTML source
would show the text of the TblSum
paragraph as the value for the summary
attribute
of the <table>
element.
If some tables in your document have no captions
(FrameMaker table titles), you might want to use the HTML title
attribute also, to provide a title. Designate a paragraph format whose
content will be the title for any table in which (or just before which)
you place an instance of the paragraph. For example, suppose you use
paragraph format TblTtl for this
purpose:
; TableTitle makes current para content into title attr for table
The content of the TblTtl
paragraph would become the text of the title
attribute of the HTML <table>
tag.
