Editing tables

There is no separate table editor in Amaya. A table is simply a structure described by the HTML DTD and it is edited as such. The same commands apply to tables as to other HTML structures.

Tables can be created very efficiently with the Return key. Create a one-cell table with the table button or the Table entry from the Types menu. The insertion point is then moved to the caption of that table. Enter the caption and/or move to the first cell. Type in the content of that cell. Create a second cell by hitting the Return key twice (the first hit creates a paragraph in the first cell). To create a new row, press Return three times. To create a new tbody, press Return four times, etc.

Note that the table model implemented in Amaya, while being fully compatible with that defined in HTML 3.2, is extended to implement the W3C Working Draft The HTML3 Table Model, which has been accepted by the IETF as a proposed standard, RFC1942. This includes features such as multiple bodies (tbody), header (thead) and footer (tfoot).
