Hi Jeffry,
As Leonard said thanks for doing the work to get this started. I
have a major overiding concern based the presnet Abi structure.
Each cell in a table must be container of some sort. This means it must be
a type of type <section> with extra attributes attached. <section
tableid="12345678" type="table" nrows="10" row="1".... (your stuff goes
here) > </section>
We can then generalize the Abi layout structure to handle many containers
on the screen. We can have pages with differing numbers of columns in
different sections already. So although it will be hard work to make this
handle tables, I think it is the best way to use the existing code base.
You can try this with a debug build by inserting section breaks and
setting the column number inside each section.
So I think we need to place table descriptions inside <section> tags.
Does this make sense?
Cheers
Martin
