#### 36.3.2 Specifying id/headers attributes for table cells

Table 36-2 shows the id/headers attributes you can specify in the [Tables] section. For selected tables you can override each of the *IDs settings in the [TableAccess] section, by specifying the same setting, prefixed with No, as a property; see §36.4 Overriding default table-cell settings.
