Re: DAVENPORT: "vertical" table

/ Guillaume Rouchy <rouchyg@gatwick.geco-prakla.slb.com> was heard to say:
| Using the docbook DTD and the CALS tables, I would like to have a column
| header instead of a row. I.E. :
| +------------+--------+
| | Heading 1  | Cell 1 |
| +------------+--------+
| | Heading 2  | Cell 2 |
| +------------+--------+
| 
| Instead of having the standard:
| +------------+-----------+
| | Heading 1  | Heading 2 |
| +------------+-----------+
| | Cell 1     | Cell 2    |
| +------------+-----------+
| 
| How can I do this ?

The CALS table model doesn't have a wrapper for table row heads.
The best I can suggest is <entry role="tablehead">, or something
similar. Also, you could specify it in the colspec, perhaps.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
