#### 7.7.1 Naming and defining table, row, and cell formats

Define output formats for tables in a table-format configuration file referenced from your project configuration file (or from another table or text format template) as follows:

    [Templates]
    ; Tables = path to file specifying properties of table formats.
    Tables = path/to/mytableformats.ini

See §7.2 Working with format configuration files.

Note: Table specifications in a format configuration file can be overridden by other settings for tables in general configuration files.

When you define a new table format, give it a name that ends in Table. The Table suffix is required for table format names. Names of table row formats must end in Row. Names of table cell formats must end in Cell.

Any format defined in a configuration file accessed via [Templates]Tables is considered to be a table format unless the name ends in Row or Cell.
