<entry> Table Entry

<entry> is a formatting element used to designate cell contents within the <row> element of a <table>.

Attributes

Certain values set here will override the general values set at a higher level for that column or row (i.e. width, rule display, alignment), otherwise it will inherit values set at higher levels. The extent of a horizontal span is determined by naming the first column (@namest) and the last column (@nameend) in the span.

  • @align – not required. Designates the horizontal position of text within a column. Values may be: left, right, center, char, justify (flush left and right).
  • @altrender – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.
  • @audience – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”
  • @char – not required. Used for horizontal alignment of a single character, such as decimal alignment. This attribute names the character on which the text will be aligned, for example a decimal point, an asterisk, or an em-dash.
  • @charoff – not required. Used with horizontal character alignment, such as decimal alignment. When the @align attribute value is “char,” this is the percentage of the current column width to the left edge of the alignment character. Value is a number or starts with a number.
  • @colname – not required. Letters and/or numbers (no spaces) used to match the entry to the name of the column in which it occurs.
  • @colsep – not required. Use “true” to display a vertical rule to the right of the entry’s column and “false” for no vertical rule.
  • @id – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.
  • @lang – not required. Three-letter code that indicates the language in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 639-2b.
  • @morerows – not required. The number of additional rows in a vertical straddle. Must be a number, default is “0” to indicate no additional rows.
  • @nameend – not required. Name of the rightmost column of the span. Must be the column name as defined by @colname within <colspec>.
  • @namest – not required. Name of the leftmost column of a span. Must be the column name as defined by @colname within <colspec>.
  • @rowsep – not required. Use “true” to display a horizontal rule below the row and “false” for no horizontal rule.
  • @script – not required. Four-letter code that indicates the script in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 15924.
  • @valign – not required. Used to set the vertical positioning of text within a table cell. Values are: top, middle, and bottom.

Examples

This example is modified from the original example file:

<table frame="all" colsep="true" rowsep="true">
  <tgroup align="center" cols="3">
    <colspec colname="materialtype" colnum="1"/>
    <colspec colname="usetype" colnum="2"/>
    <colspec colname="permissionrequired" colnum="3"/>
    <thead valign="middle">
      <row>
        <entry colname="materialtype">Material Type</entry>
        <entry colname="usetype">Use Type</entry>
        <entry colname="permissionrequired">Permission Required</entry>
      </row>
    </thead>
    <tbody valign="middle">
      <row>
        <entry colname="materialtype">Event recordings, 1980-2008</entry>
        <entry colname="usetype">File copying or other duplication of audio or visual content</entry>
        <entry colname="permissionrequired">Requires permission of the speakers or copyright holders as no waivers or permission slips were obtained</entry>
      </row>
      <row>
        <entry colname="materialtype">Event recordings, 2009-</entry>
        <entry colname="usetype">File copying or other duplication of audio or visual content</entry>
        <entry colname="permissionrequired">Consult with the archivist for waivers which contain specific guidance by each speaker for the duplication and use of each recording. Speakers were given the following options: to restrict duplication entirely, to allow duplication for personal research use, to allow duplication for personal research use and teaching, or to freely allow duplication and use of the materials. These permissions were obtained separately from streaming permissions and copies of the video streaming in the university's YouTube channel should not be interpreted as license to duplicate.</entry>
      </row>
    </tbody>
  </tgroup>

Changes from EAD 2002

<entry> gained attributes @lang and @script. It gained child elements <quote> and <footnote>. It lost child elements <address>, <archref>, <bibref>, <extptr>, <extref>, <note>, <unittitle>, <unitid>, and <unitdate>.
