##### 33.3.2.1 Using browser-dependent HTML tags for tables

Some browsers might not support some HTML tags for tables, such as <colgroup>, <th>, <thead>, <tfoot>, and <tbody>. By default, DITA2Go does not use these tags when converting tables, because browsers that do not support them might crash, or might not show the tables.

You can specify settings in the [Tables] section to direct DITA2Go to use these HTML table tags. Table 33-2 shows the settings available. These settings apply to all tables in your document. To override a setting for one or more tables, see §33.3.2.6 Overriding row and column group settings.
