Custom Tables - Elements Category
This categories includes the properties needed to define the elements that will make up your custom table, and the roles they will perform in the table.
• Available elements - Lists the elements available for defining the custom table and their associated style. The set of elements displayed in this list depends on the setting of the next two options.
• Show possible table elements: If this option is selected, the list contains any elements in the stylesheet that are mapped to the Unstyled style and are permitted to perform the role of Table.
• Show possible title, row, and cell elements: If this option is selected, the list contains any elements in the stylesheet that are associated with the element(s) assigned the Table role and that are permitted to perform the role of Title, Header row, Row, Header cell, or Cell in your table. Note that Arbortext Styler selects this option automatically when you have selected an element that can perform the role of Table in your custom table.
• Custom table elements - Lists the elements currently defined for the custom table.
The list provides the Element name and the current Role in the custom table, if defined. When you select a role, it becomes a dropdown list that enables you to assign one of the following roles to a custom table element:
◦ Table
◦ Title
◦ Header row
◦ Row
◦ Header Cell
◦ Cell
Note that the element assigned the Table role has the Custom Table style applied automatically in Arbortext Styler. You can apply other styles to the other table elements. You can also assign the Table role to more than one element, if required.
• Add - Moves the element selected in the Available elements list to the Custom table elements list.
• Remove - Moves the element selected in the Custom table elements list to the Available elements list.
