#### 33.6.2 Adding space before tables

To add space before all tables:

    [TableBeforeMacros]
    *=<br>

To add space before a specific table, use its TableID (see §33.2 Defining sets of tables); for example:

    [TableBeforeMacros]
    ae1001207=<br>

DITA2Go checks section [TableBeforeMacros] and uses the first rule that applies to the current table. This allows you to make exceptions. For example:

    [TableBeforeMacros]
    ae123456=<br><br>
    InLine=
    *=<br>

These settings would result in the following:

- double spacing before the table with TableID ae123456
- no spacing before any table with format InLine
- single spacing before all other tables.
