Issue with MDITA syntax for table

[kris eberleinconsulting.com <kris@eberleinconsulting.com>]

The draft LwDITA spec contains the following content concerning the syntax for the MDITA equivalent of <simpletable>:

 

MDITA (core and extended profiles)

A table should contain a header row, a delimiter row, and zero or more rows with entries. Table entries inside a row should be separated by pipes (|), and the delimiter should contain hyphens (-), and optionally, a leading or trailing colon (:), or both, to indicate left, right, or center alignment respectively.

This is wrong; simple table does not support alignment in DITA, so it cannot be supported in LwDITA.

 

Best,

Kris
