Horizontal Bracketings

A special case are family trees, which are usually visualized by means of horizontal parentheses. They are reproduced as tables (<table>, <row>, <cell>). The <cell> element gets a @rendition attribute with the possible values "#topBraced" (for bracketings above the cell in question) and "#bottomBraced" (for bracketings below the cell in question).
