Table and Column Widths

By default, eXtyles NLM does not export the overall table width from Word into the XML. It is possible to set up eXtyles NLM to detect the absolute width of the table as it appears in Word and pass through the width to the XML export in whatever unit fits your workflow needs (e.g., inches, centimeters, points, etc.). Please contact extyles-support@inera.com if you need the overall table width to be included in your XML.

Column widths are calculated as percentages of the total width of the table by default. The examples above illustrate tables whose column widths are represented as percentages.

Cell Indents

If a paragraph indent is used within a table cell, it is reflected in the XML on export; this allows great control over the arrangement of the table cell contents. Exactly how the indent is represented depends on your configuration. In the following table, the cell contents in the first cells of rows 3 and 4 have been aligned using a first-line indent of 0.4 cm. In this configuration, the paragraph indent is represented in the output XML by a variable number of non-breaking spaces (represented as &#x00A0; in Unicode) (one for every 0.1 cm):

Row Headers

While row headers that appear mid-table are supported by eXtyles, the JATS DTD does not include a way to indicate that a row is a heading row when in mid-table. However, there is a "more correct" way to do this in JATS XML. Simply style the mid-table heading rows with the Table Column Head style. This style forces a new <table> element within the <table-wrap> element. For example, the following table:

Lists in Tables 

Lists in tables should be styled using the appropriate list style, rather than using the table styles. You can apply the list style to a unique paragraph in a table cell by holding the CTRL key while selecting the style from the palette.

Note that a given list in a table cannot extend from one table cell to the next (since, in the XML, the starting <list> tag is inside <td>, so the closing </list> tag must occur before </td> is encountered). Therefore, all of the items in a particular list must be placed in a single table cell, separated by paragraph marks, as in this table:

Table and Box Location in the Word File

Numbered tables and boxes may be located in the Word file either at the end of the file, or just after the paragraph where the item is first cited. In either situation, eXtyles will correctly place the table or box in the XML file as set up in your configuration. 

In the case of unnumbered and/or uncited tables and boxes, the table or box must be placed in the Word file just after the paragraph where it should appear in the PDF file or HTML pageLists in Tables

See Setting up Tables in Word for information on how to style lists in tables.
