Table Character Offset (XHTML table model)

See W3C documentation for the XHTML table model.

Horizontal offset from the alignment character specified by the @char attribute; the percent of the current column width to the left of the (left edge of the) alignment character.

Remarks

Alignment on a particular character requires that three attributes be set in the document:

  1. The @align attribute value is set to the word “char”.
  2. The @char attribute value is set to the actual character to use for the aligning, for example, a decimal point, “.”.
  3. The @charoff attribute value is set to the percent of the current column width to the left of the (left edge of the) alignment character, for example, “30”.

In Paragraph, the attribute value specifies the horizontal alignment for the paragraph.
