Table styling
Discouraged
This feature is discouraged. For the rationale, see:
Attributes and properties of table elements, such as align
, vAlign
, noWrap
, bgcolor
, or char
set various visual presentation properties of the table and its sections and cells. These are obsolete, and some of them have no effect. Use CSS instead.
