Description

The THead wrapper identifies the Rows of a table that form the head of the table, as distinct from the body (TBody) and foot (TFoot) rows.

Header rows are always rendered at the beginning of the table.

Processing expectations

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 . Header rows are often presented in an alternate typographic style, such as boldface.

In paged media, if a table spans across multiple pages, header rows are printed at the top of each new page.

Parents

These elements contain thead: entrytbl, informaltable, table, tgroup.

Children

The following elements occur in thead: colspec, row, tr.

Attributes

valign

VAlign specifies the vertical alignment of text (and other elements) within the cells of this THead.

See Also

colspec, entry, entrytbl, informaltable, row, spanspec, table, tbody, tfoot, tgroup.

Examples

For examples, see table.
