25.4.3.3 Using a custom marker for table summary or title

You can use a custom marker to provide a summary for a table, and another custom marker to provide a title. Each marker name must start with Table and end with the name of the attribute:

TableSummary	Summary attribute for table (maximum 256 characters).
TableTitle	Title attribute for a table that has no <caption>.

For example, to add a summary attribute:

1. Create a FrameMaker marker named TableSummary.

2. Place a TableSummary marker somewhere in the table, or just before the table.

3. Type the content of the summary in the Marker dialog, as shown in Figure 25-1.

4. Click New Marker.

A TableSummary marker placed in the “Server configuration” table shown in Figure 25-1 might have the content shown in the Marker Text box.

The HTML source would show the <table> tag as follows (omitting display attributes):

<table summary="The Server Configuration table shows the

identification number and description for each parameter for each

server module."> 

Note:  If the content of a TableSummary or TableTitle marker includes characters < or >, these characters must be escaped, thus: \< or \>; otherwise the table might not be rendered correctly in HTML.
