26.2.1.2 Using header cells to define column groups
Mif2Go refers to a column-header cell with a group attribute as a ColGroup cell. To make a header cell a ColGroup cell, include in it one of the following:
• a
paragraph that is in a format you have designated [HTMLParaStyles]
ColGroup
(see §26.2.2 Using paragraph formats
for table-cell attributes)
• a
CellGroup
marker that you have given content
col
(see §26.2.4 Assigning table-cell
attribute values with custom markers).
When you designate a header cell as a ColGroup cell, the effect of that property depends on which method you specify for table columns:
• scope automatically specifies the following:
– [Tables]ColGroupElements=Yes
(ColGroup cell starts a new <colgroup>
element)
– scope="colgroup" in the ColGroup cell
(ColGroup cell affects all other cells subsumed by its <colgroup>)
• id/headers automatically specifies the following:
– [Tables]ColGroupIDs=Yes
(ColGroup cell gets id="groupN", dependent
cells get headers="groupN")
See §27.5.1 Understanding how the ColGroup property works for more information.
