Variations
The COLGROUP element is part of the new proposed standard
tables structure. It is not widely implemented in existing browsers.
The end tag is optional and is inferred when a new COLGROUP is encountered
or the THEAD or TBODY element of TABLE.
The order of placement of a series of COLGROUP elements within the TABLE
content is significant, and describes the columns
in the TABLE DIR presentation order, first to last.
ALIGN and VALIGN define the alignment of text within a table cell.
If ALIGN=char, CHAR specifies the alignment character which defaults
to the decimal point for the current language. CHAROFF is a decimal
number that specifies the offset for the alignment character from the
beginning of the table cell in the DIR direction.
The default units is pixels, but may be specified by a suffix on the number.
The standard defined units suffixes include:
pt=points,
pi=picas,
in=inches,
cm=centimeters,
mm=millimeters,
em=em units,
px=screen pixels.
In addition, the special suffix of the percent sign may be used to
indicate the percentage of offset within the cell from the
beginning of the cell.
