##### 34.4.3.3 Using a PI marker for table summary or title

You can use a PI marker to provide a summary for a table, and another PI marker to provide a title. Each PI marker name must start with Table and end with the name of the attribute:

TableSummary | Summary attribute for table (maximum 256 characters).
TableTitle | Title attribute for a table that has no <caption>.

For example, to add a summary attribute, place a TableSummary PI marker somewhere in the table, or just before the table.

The HTML source would show the <table> tag as follows (omitting display attributes):

    <table summary="The Server Configuration table shows the
    identification number and description for each parameter for each
    server module.">

Note: If the content of a TableSummary or TableTitle PI marker includes characters < or >, these characters must be escaped, thus: \< or \>; otherwise the table might not be rendered correctly in HTML.
