24.3.2.1 Using browser-dependent HTML tags for tables

Some browsers might not support some HTML tags for tables, such as <colgroup>, <th>, <thead>, <tfoot>, and <tbody>. By default, Mif2Go does not use these tags when converting tables, because browsers that do not support them might crash, or might not show the tables.

You can specify settings in the [Tables] section to direct Mif2Go to use these HTML table tags. Table 24-2 shows the settings available. These settings apply to all tables in your document. To override a setting for one or more tables, see §24.3.2.6 Overriding row and column group settings.

Table 24-2 Browser-dependent HTML tags for tables

[Tables] setting	Default value	Purpose
UseTbHeaderCode	No	Use <th> for header cells; default is to use <td> for all cells
ColGroupElements	No	List <colgroup> elements before first table row; enables scope="colgroup", each ColGroup head starts a new <colgroup>
HeadFootBodyTags	No	Wrap table rows in <thead>, <tfoot>, and <tbody> groups; enables scope="rowgroup", each RowGroup head starts a new <tbody>
