Wrapper element for a complete table, including the tabular material, caption (including title), footnotes, and alternative descriptions of the table for purposes of accessibility.
Complex tables may be accompanied by a graphic image showing the properly formatted table for use in environments where it is otherwise difficult to render the table correctly; see the example.
The following, in order:
<ack>, <app>, <app-group>, <bio>, <body>, <boxed-text>, <disp-quote>, <fig>, <glossary>, <license-p>, <named-content>, <non-normative-example>, <non-normative-note>, <notes>, <p>, <ref-list>, <sec>, <styled-content>, <supplementary-material>, <table-wrap-group>, <term-display>, <term-sec>
In the following example, the table is wrapped in an <alternatives> element together with a graphic showing the formatted table:
...
<table-wrap>
<alternatives>
<table rules="rows">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Color</th>
<th>Size</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">Green</td>
<td>small</td>
<td>$3.25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>medium</td>
<td>$2.25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>large</td>
<td>$1.15</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">Red</td>
<td>small</td>
<td>$3.25</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>medium</td>
<td>$5.25</td>

<tr>
<td>large</td>
<td>$9.95</td>
