Tables

Element or context:

<table>

NOTE: Effective 16 May 2018 and until further notice, tables will be supplied to Atypon in .gif format only. See the requirements and examples for reference.

Requirements:

1. Contain the entire table (including the label, caption, and <tabale>) within a <table-wrap> element, and give <table-wrap> a unique id of the form "tab{some number}"; if the table is a table part within a group of tables (see the example), then use a lowercase letter corresponding to the table lable in the id (see the example)
2. Include the <graphic> element within <table-wrap> and reference the .gif for the table using @xlink:href
3. Put the label for the table (e.g., "Table 1") within a <label> element inside <table-wrap>; if the table is a table part, use an uppercase letter after the number, indicating the part (see the example); use a period after the number or number and letter
4. Put the title for the table inside a <title> element within <caption>
5. Put all table notes and footnotes within a <table-wrap-foot> element, with notes appearing before the footnotes in the XML (see the example)
6. Notes to the table should go in a <p> element with attribute 'content-type' set to "table-note"
7. Footnotes on any part of the table (title or table body itself) should go directly in the <table-wrap-foot> element, and not in a <fn-group> element
8. If there is a group of tables (example: Table 1A and Table 1B), group the two <table-wrap> elements within a containing <table-wrap-group> (see the example)

Example 1, a basic table

<table-wrap id="tab1">
<label><bold>Table&#xa0;1.</bold> </label>
   <caption><title id="ttl9">Manual ground temperature measurements and estimated annual mean ground temperature (AMGT) at Alert BH3 between September 1982 and August 1983.</title></caption>
   <graphic xlink:href="e2012-019tab1.gif"/>
   <table-wrap-foot><p content-type="table-note"><bold>Note:</bold> <italic>R</italic><sup>2</sup>, coefficient of determination.</p>
   <fn id="tab1fn1" fn-type="table-fn"><label><italic><sup>a</sup></italic></label><p>AMGT from average of the manual measurements.</p></fn>
   <fn id="tab1fn2" fn-type="table-fn"><label><italic><sup>b</sup></italic></label><p>AMGT estimated using method outlined in text.</p></fn>
</table-wrap-foot>
</table-wrap>
          

Example 2, a table group

<table-wrap-group>
<table-wrap id="tab1a">
   <label><bold>Table&#xa0;1A.</bold> </label>
   <caption><title>Manual ground temperature measurements and estimated annual mean ground temperature (AMGT) at Alert BH3 between September 1982 and August 1983.</title></caption>
   <graphic xlink:href="e2012-019tab1a.gif"/>
 </table-wrap>
<table-wrap id="tab1b">
   <label><bold>Table&#xa0;1B.</bold> </label>
   <caption><title>Manual ground volume measurements, August 1983.</title></caption>
   <graphic xlink:href="e2012-019tab1b.gif"/>
 </table-wrap>
</table-wrap-group>
