34.4.3.1 Using a table attribute for summary or title

Under [TableAttributes] specify the summary or title attribute for the table’s TableID, and give the attribute a value:

[TableAttributes]
TableID= summary="Text of summary for this table"
TableID= title="Text of title for this table"

For example, for the summary attribute you would specify something like this:

[TableAttributes]
aa123456= summary="This is the text of my summary for this table"

where aa123456 is the TableID (see §4.3 Identifying files and elements).

You could also specify the following:

[TableAttributes]
aa123456= title="My Title Attribute" summary="My summary info"

The attributes and values must fit all on one line (of any length) in the configuration file. You could specify a macro instead, and use any number of lines:

[TableAttributes]
aa123456= <$attr4aa123456>
[Attr4aa123456]
title="I can put as long a title attribute here as I want"
summary="This is my lengthy and informative table summary"

The line breaks in the macro are preserved in the HTML output. See §37. Working with macros for more information.
