Subject: Table header
I got a question on table header. Especially from ODF implementors I
would like to know about their application behavior for headers. (The XML for header is similar for rows and column. In the following I will only mention columns.) Let me start with a quick summary on the XML of table columns: The most inner element of columns aside the content is the single <table:table-column> element. The most outer (optional) element of columns is the <table:table-column-group>, which can be nested in itself and its only purpose is for hiding a group of columns via its boolean @table:display attribute. Within these <table:table-column-group> there might be single columns (ie. <table:table-column>), but as well two further groups: <table:table-columns> and <table:table-header-columns> Columns grouped by <table:table-header-columns> are repeated on a next page, if the table is too large for one page. Columns grouped by <table:table-columns> are NOT on a next page, if the table is too large for one page. What troubles me, is the definition of table header column http://docs.oasis-open.org/office/v1.2/cos01/OpenDocument-v1.2-cos01-part1.html#element-table_table-header-columns as a single group of header columns. "A table shall not contain more than one <table:table-header-columns> element, except that the table contains grouped rows defined by one or more <table:table-column-group> 9.1.10 elements. In this case, the table and each distinct group may contain one<table:table-header-columns> element, if and only if the table columns contained in the <table:table-header-columns>elements are adjacent." In other words ODF allows only one or a connected group of headers. Its position is arbitrary. Following problems:
