Loose Content Model for Custom Table
A loose content model in a document type is one in which an element defined as a row consists of any number of cells in any order. For example, assume a table content model like the following:
Element Table consists of one or more Row elements.
Element Row consists of any number of the elements C1, C2, or C3, in any order.
Sample markup for the table may look like the following:
<Table>
<Row> <C3>...</C3> </Row>
<Row> <C1>...</C1> <C3>...</C3> <C2>...</C2> <C1>...</C1> </Row>
<Row> <C2>...</C2> <C3>...</C3> </Row>
</Table>
This table can be configured as a custom table with three rows and four columns. Rows with less than the maximum number of cell elements will have cells displayed with a gray “X” indicating cells with no content associated with them.
