               The Table element identifies a formal table.  DocBook uses the
               CALS table model, which describes tables geometrically using rows, columns,
               and cells.
               
            
Tables may include column headers and footers, but there is no provision for row headers.
Formatted as a displayed block. This element is expected to obey the semantics of the CALS Table Model Document Type Definition, as specified by OASIS Technical Memorandum TM 9502:1995 .
These elements contain table:
                  answer, appendix, article, bibliodiv, bibliography, blockquote, callout, caution, chapter, constraintdef, glossary, glossdef, glossdiv, important, index, listitem, msgexplan, msgtext, note, para, partintro, preface, procedure, qandadiv, qandaset, question, refsect1, refsect2, refsect3, refsection, refsynopsisdiv, revdescription, sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4, sect5, section, setindex, sidebar, simplesect, step, taskprerequisites, taskrelated, tasksummary, td, th, tip, warning.
               
The following elements occur in table:
                  blockinfo, caption, col, colgroup, graphic, indexterm, mediaobject, tbody, textobject, tfoot, tgroup, thead, title, titleabbrev, tr.
               
                        If ColSep has the value 1 (true), then
                        a rule will be drawn to the right of all columns in this table.
                        A value of 0 (false) suppresses the rule.
                        The rule to the right of the last column in the table is controlled by the
                        Frame attribute, not the
                        ColSep.
                        
                     
Frame specifies how the table is to be framed:
                        
                     
| Value | Meaning | 
|---|---|
all | 
                                 
                                     Frame all four sides of the table. In some environments with limited control over table border formatting, such as HTML, this may imply additional borders.  | 
                              
bottom | 
                                 
                                     Frame only the bottom of the table.  | 
                              
none | 
                                 
                                     Place no border on the table. In some environments with limited control over table border formatting, such as HTML, this may disable other borders as well.  | 
                              
sides | 
                                 
                                     Frame the left and right sides of the table.  | 
                              
top | 
                                 
                                     Frame the top of the table.  | 
                              
topbot | 
                                 
                                     Frame the top and bottom of the table.  | 
                              
There is no way to obtain a border on only the starting edge (left, in left-to-right writing systems) of the table.
                        Label specifies an identifying string for presentation purposes.
                        
                     
                        Generally, an explicit Label attribute is
                        used only if the processing system is incapable of generating the label
                        automatically. If present, the Label 
                        is normative; it will used even
                        if the processing system is capable of automatic labelling.
                        
                     
                        Orient specifies the orientation of the 
                        Table. An orientation of Port is
                        the “upright”, the same orientation as the rest of the text flow.
                        An orientation of Land is 90 degrees counterclockwise
                        from the upright orientation.
                        
                     
                        If Pgwide has the value 0 (false), then the
                        Table is rendered in the current text flow (with flow
                        column width). A value of 1 (true) specifies that the table should be
                        rendered across the full text page.
                        
                     
                        If RowSep has the value 1 (true), then a
                        rule will be drawn below all the rows in the Table
                        (unless other, interior elements, suppress some or all of the rules).
                        A value of 0 (false) suppresses the rule. The rule below the last row
                        in the table is controlled by the Frame
                        attribute and the RowSep
                        of the last row is ignored.
                        
                     
                        If ShortEntry has the value 1 (true), then the 
                        Table's TitleAbbrev will be used in the
                        LoT, Index, etc. A value of 0 (false) indicates
                        that the full Title should be used in those places.
                        
                     
                        TabStyle holds the name of a table style
                        defined in a stylesheet (e.g., a FOSI) that will be used
                        to process this document.
                        
                     
                        If ToCEntry has the value 1 (true), then the
                        Table will appear in a generated List of Tables.
                        The default value of 0 (false) indicates that it will not.
