8.5. Summary

This chapter introduced you to one of the most powerful and flexible XHTML elements, the table. You learned about the various pieces that make up the table whole, as well as how to format each. You also learned about the evolution of the table and how some of the table-formatting attributes have migrated — much like other elements' formatting attributes — into CSS. In addition, you learned how to stretch the boundaries of tables to provide layout structures for text and even entire documents.
