Attributes

The following attributes are available on this element: Universal attribute group (without the Metadata attribute group), @base and @rev from the Metadata attribute group, outputclass, and the attributes defined below. This element also uses @align, @char, @charoff, @colsep, @rowsep, and @valign from the Complex-table attribute group.

@rotate
Indicates whether the contents of the entry is rotated. While the attribute is declared with the XML data type CDATA, the only predefined values are:
1
The contents of the cell are rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise.
0
No rotation occurs.
-dita-use-conref-target
See Using the -dita-use-conref-target value for more information.

If this attribute is not specified, no rotation occurs. In situations where a stylesheet or other formatting mechanism specifies table cell orientation, the @rotate attribute can be ignored.

@colname
Specifies the column name in which an entry is found. The value is a reference to the @colname attribute on the <colspec> element.
@namest
Specifies the first logical column that is included in a horizontal span. The value is a reference to the @colname attribute on the <colspec> element.
@nameend
Specifies the last logical column that is included in a horizontal span. The value is a reference to the @colname attribute on the <colspec> element.
@morerows
Specifies the number of additional rows to add in a vertical span.
@scope
The presence of the @scope attribute indicates that the current entry is a header for the specified scope. Allowable values are:
