Subject: "chapter" in table
Hello, In engineering world, there are some tables : * where columns are defined for the whole table (item #, designation, power, weight, voltage...). * some lines related to the same topic (Elevator #1, conveyor #2 ...) are grouped. To achieve ths, there a different options : 1. To repeat the name of the topic on each line 2. To create a new table for each topic I find those options not really elegant (identical first cells of each row, or management of headers and columns/colspec for each tables). Instead of : db.cals.table ÂÂÂÂ* tgroup  Â  * colspec     * thead     * tbody     * tfoot This kind of "schema" could help answer such a requirement : db.cals.table  * colspec  * thead  * tfoot  * tgroup    * thead    * tbody    * tfoot  There a is a common header for the whole table, managed like today when published (repeated when changing pages as an example). A tgroup corresponding to a given topic embed a thead and containing the row of the "title" (with an adequate colspan) enables the reuse of a consistent set of rows. What do you think ? Florimond
