--- Comment #41 from Aryeh Gregor <simetrical+wikib...@gmail.com> 2011-04-24 18:31:24 UTC --- (In reply to comment #38) > The semantic meaning of "border=1" is "this is definitely not a layout table, > don't you dare treat it like one". The semantic meaning of "border=0" is > "this > *is* a layout table". No, border=0 could be a non-layout table that you don't want to have a border for whatever reason. There are such things. It doesn't have any semantic meaning. The semantic meaning for border=1 was made up by HTML5. > The HTML5 spec deprecates layout tables even more > strongly than its predecessors, and in particular indicates that they "must" > be > marked with an attribute "role=presentation". This is actually a point of divergence between the W3C and WHATWG copies: the W3C allows role=presentation on tables, the WHATWG prohibits it. http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/tabular-data.html#the-table-element http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/tabular-data.html#the-table-element Not that it makes much difference, since both of them say role=presentation on a table is valid.

You don't need it to achieve that effect. $ cat a.html <!doctype html> <table> <tr><td>a <td>b <tr><td>c <td>d </table> $ w3m -dump a.html a b c d -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
