HTML+ Tables

HTML+ provides much-needed support for tables with the <TABLE> tag and its elements:
<CAPTION>
Table title tag
<TH>
Table header tag
<TD>
Table data cells
<TR>
Row divider
Table headers and cells can have ROWSPAN and COLSPAN attributes which can expand a cell or header to any number of cell rows or columns. The ALIGN attribute can be set to LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT to position cell data.

Here is an example from an HTML 3 standards document:

<TABLE BORDER>
<CAPTION> An Example of a Table</CAPTION>
<TH ROWSPAN=2 TH COLSPAN="2"> average <TH> <TH> <TH>other <TR>
<TH> height <TH> weight <TH> category <TR>
<TH ALIGN=LEFT colspan=2> males <TD> 1.9 <TD> .003 <TD> yyy <TR>
<TH ALIGN=LEFT colspan=2> females <TD> 1.7 <TD> .002 <TD> xxx
</TABLE>
