#### 6.3.2 Mapping table outputclass attributes to formats

To specify a table format with a name that is different from the table outputclass attribute:

    [TableOutclassMaps]
    ; outputclass attribute of table element = table format to use.
    ; one of the formats defined in the [Templates]Tables file.
    FormatA = TableFormat

When you explicitly assign a table format to the outputclass for that table, that format takes precedence over the default table format. The assignments in this section map existing table outputclass attribute values to the table formats you want to use. You might have six different table formats in your source document, resulting in six different outputclass values, that should all be rendered using the same table format.

If an outputclass is already the right table format name, you do not need to map it. However, if you want different table formats in Word and in HTML for the same table, you would need a different [TableOutclassMaps] list for each output type.

To define output formats for tables, see §7.7 Configuring table output formats.

For additional ways to customize tables for specific output types, see:

§15.6 Converting tables to print RTF

§33. Converting tables to HTML.
