Create a Footer Row
The last row of a table is promoted to a footer row if the footer value is assigned to the table’s options attribute.
Assign footer to the last row
The footer row semantics and styles are applied to the last row in a table by assigning footer to the options attribute.
The options attribute is set in the table’s attribute list using the shorthand (%value) or formal syntax (options="value").
The options attribute is represented by the percent sign (%) when it’s set using the shorthand syntax.
In Example 1, footer is assigned using the shorthand syntax for options.
[%header%footer,cols="2,2,1"] (1)
|===
|Column 1, header row
|Column 2, header row
|Column 3, header row
|Cell in column 1, row 2
|Cell in column 2, row 2
|Cell in column 3, row 2
|Column 1, footer row
|Column 2, footer row
|Column 3, footer row
|===| 1 | Values assigned using the shorthand syntax must be entered before the cols attribute (or any other named attributes) in a table’s attribute list, otherwise the processor will ignore them. |
The table from Example 1 is displayed below.
| Column 1, header row | Column 2, header row | Column 3, header row |
|---|---|---|
Cell in column 1, row 2 |
Cell in column 2, row 2 |
Cell in column 3, row 2 |
Column 1, footer row |
Column 2, footer row |
Column 3, footer row |
In Example 2, the options attribute is set and assigned the footer value using the formal syntax.
The options attribute accepts a comma-separated list of values.
[options="footer"]
|===
|Column 1, header row |Column 2, header row
|Cell in column 1, row 2
|Cell in column 2, row 2
|Cell in column 1, row 3
|Cell in column 2, row 3
|Column 1, footer row
|Column 2, footer row
|===The last row of the table in Example 2 is rendered using the corresponding footer styles.
| Column 1, header row | Column 2, header row |
|---|---|
Cell in column 1, row 2 |
Cell in column 2, row 2 |
Cell in column 1, row 3 |
Cell in column 2, row 3 |
Column 1, footer row |
Column 2, footer row |
