33.3.2.4 Wrapping table row groups

To group table rows, the rows must be wrapped in elements that distinguish header, footer, and body rows, and that provide a way to group body rows. By default, DITA2Go wraps table rows in groups.

To prevent DITA2Go from wrapping table row groups:

[Tables]
; HeadFootBodyTags = Yes (default, wrap table rows in <thead>, 
; <tfoot>, and <tbody> groups, to enable scope="rowgroup") or No
HeadFootBodyTags = No

Create header, footer, and body sections

When HeadFootBodyTags=Yes, DITA2Go wraps table rows with <thead>, <tbody>, and <tfoot> tags, as follows:

This is intended primarily to support WAI interpretation using the WAI scope attribute; see §35. Identifying HTML table structure for WAI for more information. However, you can also use this setting also to add CSS class attributes.
