| Name | Description | Data Type | Default Value | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| colname | Specifies the table column name in which an entry is found. | NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| namest | Specifies the first logical column that is included in a horizontal span. | NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| nameend | Specifies the last logical column that is included in a horizontal span. | NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| morerows | Specifies the number of additional rows to add in a vertical span. | NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| colsep | Column separator. A value of 0 indicates no separators; 1 indicates separators. | NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| rowsep | Row separator. A value of 0 indicates no separators; 1 indicates separators. | NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| align | Describes the alignment of text in a table column. Allowable
values are:
|
(left | right | center | justify | char | -dita-use-conref-target) | #IMPLIED | No |
| char | Specifies the character for aligning the table entry data. Default source for entry elements starting in this column. If character alignment is specified, the value is the single alignment character source for any implied char values for entry immediately in this column. A value of "" (the null string) means there is no aligning character. For example, if align="char" and char="r", then text in the entry should align with the first occurrence of the letter "r" within the entry. |
CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| charoff | Specifies the horizontal offset of alignment character when
align="char". Default source for entry elements starting in this column. For character alignment on an entry in the column, horizontal character offset is the percent of the current column width to the left of the (left edge of the) alignment character. This value should be number, greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100. For example, if align="char", char="r", and charoff="50", then text in the entry should align 50% of the distance to the left of the first occurrence of the character "r" within the entry. |
NMTOKEN | #IMPLIED | No |
| valign | Indicates the vertical alignment of text in a table entry
(cell). Allowable values are:
|
(top | bottom | middle | -dita-use-conref-target) | #IMPLIED | No |
| rev | Indicates a revision level of an element that identifies when the element was added or modified. It may be used to flag outputs when it matches a run-time parameter. It is not sufficient to be used for full version control, such as single-sourcing multiple product variants based on version level, as it only represents one aspect of the revision level. If no value is specified, but the attribute is specified on an ancestor within a map or within the related-links section, the value will cascade from the closest ancestor. | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| base | A generic attribute that has no specific purpose. It is intended to act as a base for specialized attributes that have a simple value syntax like the conditional processing attributes (one or more alphanumeric values separated by whitespace), but is not itself a filtering or flagging attribute. The attribute takes a space-delimited set of values. However, when acting as a container for generalized attributes, the content model will be more complex; see Attribute generalization for more details. | CDATA | #IMPLIED | No |
| id-atts attribute group (id, conref, conrefend, conaction, conkeyref) | A set of related attributes, described in id-atts attribute group | |||
| localization-atts attribute group (translate, xml:lang, dir) | A set of related attributes, described in localization-atts attribute group. | |||
| global-atts attribute group (xtrf, xtrc) | A set of related attributes, described in global-atts attribute group | |||
| class, outputclass | Common attributes described in Other common DITA attributes |
