24.3.2.5 Positioning table footer rows (deprecated)

W3C specifies that a <tfoot> element, if present, must immediately follow the <thead> element, before any <tbody> elements; for more information, see:

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/struct/tables.html#h-11.2.3

By default, that is where Mif2Go puts <tfoot> elements in your HTML output. Any compliant HTML 4.x or XHTML 1.x browser should support this positioning; require it, even, and fail to display the table otherwise.

When HeadFootBodyTags=Yes (the default; see §24.3.2.4 Wrapping table row groups), but you want to guarantee that, for some legacy viewers, table footers will appear in HTML output at the bottom of your tables (even though this apparently flies in the face of the W3C specification), you can also specify FootTagLast=Yes:

[Tables]

; FootTagLast = No (default, put after thead) or Yes

FootTagLast=Yes

However, this setting is deprecated, and should not be needed for current browsers and HTML viewers.
