table

Presents tabular information in a standard table markup.

The <table> element column or row spanning and table captions or descriptions. Use the optional <desc> element inside the table element to add a description of the table to be included when you conref the <table> element.

Use the <simpletable> element for tables that do not require complex presentation, such as spanning.

Avoid decision tables, which are also known as “if-then” tables. The format of a decision table is to use the table headings to begin and complete a “sentence.” Many languages do not support this sentence-like structure. Use <choicetable> for these types of tables instead.

Do not include tables within the paragraph element for the preceding paragraph. Make sure that you insert any tables after the closing tag.

The <taskbody> element must include steps.

tbody

The <tbody> element must include one or more <row> elements.

The <thead> element must precede the <tbody> element.

tip

As defined in the Avaya Style Guide, use the <tip> element to provide information that helps users apply the techniques and the procedures that are described in the text. Information in a tip can include keyboard shortcuts, or alternative methods that might not be obvious. You also can use tips to help users better understand certain benefits and capabilities of the product.

Use sentence capitalization for topic titles.

tm

The trademark (<tm>) element in DITA is used to markup and identify a term or phrase that is trademarked. Trademarks include registered trademarks, service marks, slogans and logos. When you insert a trademark, the Modify Attributes dialog box displays so that you can select the trademark type.

topicgroup

Creates groups of <topicref> elements.

The <topicgroup> element does not affect or imply a structural hierarchy of <topicref> elements. The <topicgroup> element is typically used outside a hierarchy or within a relationship table to identify groups for linking without any impact on the table of contents or the navigation output.

Use the <topichead> element as an alternative to the fully-linked title provided by the <topicref> element.
