<div dir="ltr"><div>One example that comes to mind where we use a table to format non-tabular data is where we create a shaded area on the page with rounded corners that needs to expand/collapse dynamically based on the amount of text it contains.</div>
<div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I have manipulated the XEPOUT to remove table structure on documents that I know can be removed, usually documents that contain just a single table. I know that I could flag tables as I suggested, but then that setting would have to be copied down to a block element in each cell in order to be able to identify elements in the XEPOUT which need to have the table structure removed. All this is possible, I know, but a task that becomes much more difficult if you need to allow for nested tables where you want to remove the structure of the outer table, but not the inner table.</div>

</div><div><div class="h5"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><div><p class="MsoNormal">Because the PDF 508 compliance check requires that all tables must have a header (TH), it would be really nice if there was a way to eliminate the table structure from a tagged PDF if that table is only used for layout. Maybe by adding another rx: extension like rx:layout-only="true". Adding this attribute to an fo:table element would copy only the structure of the table's content to the PDF and not the structure of the table itself. If there is a way to do this already, someone please enlighten me.<u></u><u></u></p>
