# p.simpletable.row

## Syntax

**p.simpletable.row**

 

## Purpose

The p.simpletable.row annotation is used to tag an element as being an entry row of 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).

## Examples

The following is an example of a time where you might want to use the p.simpletable.row annotation:

This content will be organized into a simple table format.

 This content is already in a table, and will not correctly apply annotations related to simple tables.

The following is an example of a rule that will apply p.simpletable.row:

**Note**: this rule applies two annotations. In this example, Migrate will apply the p.simpletable.row annotation only to a paragraph containing a span which has the TableTermChar style.

See p.simpletable.head for more information.

The following is the DITA XML output for the previous rule (relevant portion in bold):

 

<simpletable>

<sthead>

<stentry>Date</stentry>

<stentry>Significance</stentry>

<stentry>Region</stentry>

</sthead>

** <strow>**

<stentry>Summer Solstice</stentry>
