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

Mif2Go 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 §26.2.2 Using paragraph formats for table-cell attributes)

• a CellGroup marker that you have given content row
(see §26.2.4 Assigning table-cell attribute values with custom 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 §27.5.2 Understanding how the RowGroup property works for more information.
