## A.2 Table marker s

Table A-1 lists the special marker types you can use to apply WAI attributes to tables. The T column in contains an example of each table marker. The “Table A-2” columns show where in Table A-2 you can find another example of the same marker, located in a cell appropriate for the marker purpose.

Each of the paragraph formats used in Table A-2 has a name that represents the role it plays in the table: Body Cell, Col Group, Col Head, Row Group, Row Head, and Table Footer. Columns are numbered in row 3; rows are numbered in column 3. The content of other column and row header cells indicates the kind of WAI markup provided by the markers they contain. The Col Group and Row Group header cells each contain two markers: a CellScope marker at the beginning of the text, and a CellGroup marker at the end. Body cells are all numbered by column and row. This paragraph ends with the table anchor for Table A-2:
