Tight Content Model for Custom Table
A tight content model in a document type is one in which an element defined as a row consists of specific cells in a specific order. For example, assume a table content model like the following:
Element Characteristics consists of a Label and one or more Property elements.
Element Label consists of the required elements Label1 and Label2, in that order.
Element Property consists of the required elements: Prop1 and Prop2, in that order.
Sample markup for the table may look like the following:
<Characteristics>
<Label><Label1>Property Name</Label1> <Label2>Weight</Label2> </Label>
<Property> <Prop1>Antenna</Prop1> <Prop2>3 lb</Prop2>
<Property> <Prop1> Radiator</Prop1> <Prop2>15.3 lb</Prop2>
<Property> <Prop1> Wheel</Prop1> <Prop2>12 lb</Prop2>
</Characteristics>
This table can be configured as a custom table with four rows, including a header row, and two columns. Each row must contain two cells.
