Table Cells

This specification has been replaced by Mallard 1.1.

Use the td element to create cells for each column in a table row.

Notes

The td element can contain any general block content.
The td element can occur in a tr element.
The style attribute takes a space-separated list of style hints. Processing tools should adjust their behavior according to those style hints they understand.
The colspan attribute allows a table cell to span across multiple table columns.
The rowspan attribute allows a table cell to span across multiple table rows.
The td element can have attributes from external namespaces. See External Namespaces for more information on external-namespace attributes.
