Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Accessibility: adding scope attribute to HTML output


Thanks for your reply, Peter.
Rather than use <id>, we have decided to use the scope attribute as shown in
the 508 Guidelines:

http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/guide/1194.22.htm#(g)

So, I need to generate the following HTML:

<th scope="col"> instead of <th>
<td scope="row"> for the first <td> in a row, instead of <td>
