> 24 Converting tables to HTML > 24.4 Specifying table attributes > 24.4.2 Overriding attributes for selected tables
To specify HTML <table>
attributes for a single table or a group of tables:
; Table ID = text (macro) to put inside table element, overrides
; settings in [Tables] for Border, Spacing, and Padding, and
On the left of the =
sign you can specify a TableID, a table format name, or a table group
name, and you can use wildcards in the name. See §24.2.2 Creating table groups.
On the right of the =
sign you can include any arbitrary HTML, even macros (see §28 Working
with macros) and JavaScript (perhaps something
like onmouseover="javascript:
dosomething(now)"
).
Just keep it all on the same line.
For example, to maintain table cell borders more
or less as they were in FrameMaker, rather than use a global setting
for all tables (as you would in the [Tables]
section or in the [Attributes]
section), you
can set the borders based on the table format name:
FormatA= border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="1"
Values you specify in the [TableAttributes]
section override corresponding settings in the [Tables]
section, and
also override any attributes you assign to the table
element in the [Attributes]
section. However,
see §24.4.8.2 Taming border, cellspacing, and cellpadding settings
for special constraints on specifying values for border
,
cellspacing
, and cellpadding
.
