Description
Formatting information for a
spanned column in a TGroup (part of Table).
SpanSpec is an empty element, bearing common, Align,
Char, Charoff, Colsep, Nameend (required),
Namest (required), Rowsep, and Spanname,
(required) attributes.
Namest (“Name Start”)
is the name of the leftmost column
of a span. Names are identified in the
ColSpec of the current TGroup.
There is no default.
nameend
Nameend is the name of the rightmost
column of a span. Names are identified in the
ColSpec of the current TGroup. There is no default.
spanname
Spanname is the name of a horizontal span.
There is no default.
colsep
For EntryTbl, if the value of Colsep
is 1 (yes), display the internal column rulings to
the right of the EntryTbl,
except if the EntryTbl falls in the the last column,
where the side rule
setting applies; if 0 (no), do not display it.
There is no default. The
value is inherited from the enclosing TGroup.
rowsep
Rowsep controls the occurance of horizontal rules
between table rows. A value of 1 (yes) specifies
that a rule should occur. A value of 0 (no) specifies
that it should not. Rowsep is inherited from
enclosing table elements.
align
Align controls the horizontal position
of text within the column.
The value of Align may be Left (quad flush left),
Center (centered), Right (quad flush right),
Justify (both quad left and right), or Char (align to
the left of Char, positioned by Charoff).
There is no default except for SpanSpec, where the default is Center.
For Entry and EntryTbl, the value may be inherited from
ColSpec or SpanSpec.
char
Specifies the alignment character
charoff
Charoff contributes with Char to Align.
Charoff is the proportion
of the current column width, expressed in percentage,
to be allowed before the left edge of the first occurrence
of the character given as the value of Char.
For Entry, the default is inherited from ColSpec or SpanSpec.
For ColSpec and EntryTbl, the default is inherited from the enclosing TGroup.
For SpanSpec, the default is inherited from the ColSpec of
the column named by Namest.
