align

Describes the alignment of text in a table column. Allowable values are:

left

Indicates left alignment of the text.

right

Indicates right alignment of the text.

center

Indicates center alignment of the text.

justify

Justifies the contents to both the left and the right.

char

Use the character specified on the char attribute for alignment.

-dita-use-​conref-​target

See 3.4.2.4.1 Using the -dita-use-conref-target value for more information. In DITA 1.0 and 1.1, char was defined as a legal value, but was not described. The 1.2 spec added a description for the "char" value (the value itself is not new).

(left | right | center | justify | char | -dita-use-​conref-​target)

#IMPLIED

No

char

Specifies the character for aligning the table entry data. Default source for entry elements starting in this column. If character alignment is specified, the value is the single alignment character source for any implied char values for entry immediately in this column. A value of "" (the null string) means there is no aligning character.

For example, if align="char" and char="r", then text in the entry should align with the first occurrence of the letter "r" within the entry.

CDATA

#IMPLIED

No

charoff

Specifies the horizontal offset of alignment character when align="char". Default source for entry elements starting in this column. For character alignment on an entry in the column, horizontal character offset is the percent of the current column width to the left of the (left edge of the) alignment character.

This value should be number, greater than 0 and less than or equal to 100.

For example, if align="char", char="r", and charoff="50", then text in the entry should align 50% of the distance to the left of the first occurrence of the character "r" within the entry.

NMTOKEN

#IMPLIED

No

valign

Indicates the vertical alignment of text in a table entry (cell). Allowable values are:

top

Align the text to the top of the table entry (cell).

bottom

(top | bottom | middle | -dita-use-​conref-​target)

#IMPLIED

No

rev

Indicates a revision level of an element that identifies when the element was added or modified. It may be used to flag outputs when it matches a run-time parameter; it cannot be used for filtering. It is not sufficient to be used for version control.

CDATA

#IMPLIED

No

base

A generic attribute that has no specific purpose. It is intended to act as a base for specialized attributes that have a simple value syntax like the conditional processing attributes (one or more alphanumeric values separated by whitespace), but is not itself a filtering or flagging attribute.
