##### 35.2.1.3 Using header cells to define row groups

DITA2Go refers to a row-header cell that has a group attribute as a RowGroup cell. To make a header cell a RowGroup cell, include in it one of the following:

- a paragraph that is in a format you have designated [HTMLParaStyles] RowGroup (see §35.2.2 Using paragraph formats for table-cell attributes)
- a CellGroup PI marker that you have given content row (see §35.2.4 Assigning table-cell attribute values with PI markers).

When you designate a header cell as a RowGroup cell, the effect of that property depends on which method you specify for table rows:

- scope automatically specifies the following:
  - HeadFootBodyTags=Yes (RowGroup cell starts a new <tbody> element)
  - scope="rowgroup" in the RowGroup cell (RowGroup cell affects all other cells in its <tbody>)
- id/headers automatically specifies the following:
  - RowGroupIDs=Yes (RowGroup cell gets id="groupN", dependent cells get headers="groupN")

See §36.5.2 Understanding how the RowGroup property works for more information.
