As with the Paragraph Catalog, if your MIF file does not provide a Table Catalog, the MIF interpreter
supplies a default catalog and formats. If you do provide a Table Catalog, your defined table formats
supercede those in the default Table Catalog.
You can add a minimal table format to the catalog by simply supplying a table format tag name. The MIF
interpreter supplies a set of default values to the table's properties when it reads in the MIF file.
The ruling styles in a table format are defined in a separate catalog called the Ruling Catalog. You can define
your own Ruling Catalog with the RulingCatalog statement. Whether you use the default ruling styles or
create your own, substatements that refer to ruling styles, such as the TblLRuling statement, must use the
name of a ruling style from the Ruling Catalog. See "RulingCatalog statement" on page 93.
Applying a table format
You can apply a table format from the Table Catalog or you can define a table format locally.
To apply a table format from the Table Catalog, use the TblTag statement within the Tbl statement:
<Tbls
<Tbl
<TblID 1>
<TblTag `Format A'>
<TblNumColumns 1>
<TblBody
...
> # end of TblBody
> # end of Tbl
> # end of Tbls
To locally define a table format, use a complete TblFormat statement:
<Tbls
<Tbl
<TblID 1>
<TblFormat
<TblTag ` '>
# Every table must have one TblColumn statement.
<TblColumn
<TblColumnNum 0>
<TblColumnWidth
1.0">
> # end of TblColumn
table property statements
> # end of TblFormat
> # end of Tbl
> # end of Tbls
# Tag of format in Table Catalog
