<?tbceref>
Description
Use this command to specify a reference to be called when an empty cell appears in a table. The command should include a named reference, to which PTC ALD will be directed when it encounters the empty cell. The reference can be set to either include some default text to be displayed in the empty cell (for example "none" or "N/A") or to assign particular attributes to the cell, for example to make empty cells black.
This command can also be specified as <?tbcellemptyref>.
 
Example 399. Call a reference tag for an empty cell
This example shows how to set PTC ALD to call a reference tag called empty when it encounters a cell with no content.
<?tbceref="empty">
Syntax
<?tbceref ref:t>

Additional Information
If the , , symbols have been used in a Version One Table, it is not possible to apply an empty cell reference.
