17.4.46 tblDescription

This element specifies the description for the table.

[Example: Consider a table which specifies a description. This object might contain the following XML markup:

<w:tbl>
  <w:tblPr>
    <w:tblDescription w:val="Here is the description of the table" />
    …
  </w:tblPr>
</w:tbl>

end example]

Attributes

val (String Value)

Specifies that its contents contain a string.

The contents of this string are interpreted based on the context of the parent XML element.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment:

  <w:pPr>
    <w:pStyle w:val="Heading1" />
  </w:pPr>

The value of the val attribute is the ID of the associated paragraph style’s styleId.

However, consider the following fragment:

  <w:sdtPr>
    <w:alias w:val="SDT Title Example" />
    …
  </w:sdtPr>

In this case, the decimal number in the val attribute is the caption of the nearest ancestor structured document tag. In each case, the value is interpreted in the context of the parent element. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_String simple type (22.9.2.13).
