7.7.4 Configuring cell format
properties
The names of cell formats must end in Cell. The default cell format
is named Cell. Cell format Cell has no default properties;
however, you can define a format for Cell:
[Cell]
property1 = value1
property2 = value2a value2b value2c ...
. . .
For HTML output, cell format names are used in the
class attribute of cell
elements, and result in CSS that implements their properties. Table 7-7 lists the
properties you can define for cells.
