Table Markup Reference

1. Table Markup Scheme

The generic markup for table elements follows this scheme:

*|(attribute parameters){style parameters}content||

*|(i:main_heading){text-size: 120%}This is the main heading|*

Opening delimiter
^| is any of the delimiters described in the elements table below.
Attributes
(attribute parameters) is an optional series of parameter:value declarations enclosed in brackets. Valid parameters are described in the attribute table below. Multiple parameter declarations can be separated with a semicolon (;).
Style
{style parameters} is an optional series of CSS style declarations enclosed in braces. Multiple style declarations can be separated with a semicolon (;).
Content
content can be any valid content for that element (including formatted text).
Closing delimiter
|| is the standard delimiter.

Some elements are self closing and do not accept any attributes, style parameters or content. See the notes in the elements table below.
