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
