Basic Structure of the Encoding of Tables
Tables are tagged with the <table> element. The table contents are displayed line by line (<row>). Each line is again divided into cells (<cell>). If the table has a title, it is enclosed with a <head> element.
<table>
<head>[table title (if applicable)]</head><!-- where available -->
<row>
<cell>[text of a table cell]</cell>
<cell>[text of a table cell]</cell>
</row>
...
</table>
Overviews in tabular form, which contain no or only little pure text (e. g. mainly consisting of numbers and special characters), are not included. Instead, an empty table indicates the respective overview:

Note: By means of a
@facs attribute in the table element it can be referenced to the original figure of the table. This can be useful if complex tables cannot be included or replicated completely for reasons of efficiency.
