Working with Tables

Content Editor supports two types of DITA tables: table and simpletable.

You need to know about two table types in DITA: table and simpletable. Both are based on the CALS table model.

The table structure is used for complex tabular information. It can contain a title and can be cross-referenced.

The simpletable structure is much more simple and does not allow for titles nor cross-referencing. As the name implies, this type of table is used to convey simple tabular information.

Both table types are based on the CALS table model.
