17.18.90 ST_TblWidth

This simple type specifies the possible values for the units of the width property being defined by a specific table width property. These properties are used to define various properties of a table, including: cell spacing, preferred width, and table margins.

[Example: Consider a table with a table cell bottom cell spacing with a type of dxa, as follows:

<w:bottom … w:type="dxa" />

This type must therefore be used to interpret the width specified in the w attribute as a value in twentieths of a point. end example]

This simple type’s contents are a restriction of the W3C XML Schema string datatype.

This simple type is restricted to the values

listed in the following table:

Enumeration Value

Description

Specifies that the value for the measurement of the current table width property in the parent table shall be automatically determined by the table layout algorithm when the table is displayed (this width can be adjusted as appropriate).

If this value is inappropriate for the current measurement (i.e. this measurement is not affected by that algorithm), then this width type and the associated value can be ignored.

Specifies that the value for the measurement of the current table width property in the parent table shall be interpreted as twentieths of a point (1/1440 of an inch).

Specifies that the current width is zero, regardless of any width value specified on the parent element.

Specifies that the value for the measurement of the current table width property in the parent table shall be interpreted as whole percentage point when a percent sign (U+0025) is present.

These percentages shall be calculated relative to the extents specified by the parent XML element.

If this value is inappropriate for the current measurement (i.e. this measurement is not part of the width of the table), then this width type and the associated value can be ignored.

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this simple type’s content model (ST_TblWidth) is located in A.1. end note]
