# p.simpletable.entry

## Syntax

**p.simpletable.entry**

## Purpose

The p.simpletable.entry annotation is used to tag an element as being an entry in a simple table. A simple table is any table of uniform size and shape with no additional formatting or captions applied. This annotation creates a table, so to be applied correctly, the content must not be contained within a table (see Example).

This annotation cannot create new rows. All consecutive p.simpletable.entry annotations will be assigned to the same row.

## Examples
