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.

Parents

These elements contain spanspec: entrytbl, and tgroup.

Attributes

namest

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.
