35.2.1.2 Using header cells to
define column groups
DITA2Go 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:
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 §36.5.1
