This is an implementation of schema.org Table, extended in Stencila Schema for document-oriented table content.

In addition to the schema.org model, this type supports structured rows, notes, captions, authorship, provenance, and labeling behavior needed for authoring and publishing documents. It is focused on presentational and narrative tables, in contrast to Datatable, which is optimized for typed data.

Key properties include rows, caption, notes, label, and labelAutomatically. Additional metadata features may be inherited from CreativeWork.

Analogues

The following external types, elements, or nodes are similar to a Table:

schema.org Table: Direct schema.org source type, extended in Stencila with structured row and note content for document authoring.

HTML <table>: Closest HTML analogue for tabular content, though Stencila also models notes and richer work metadata.

JATS <table-wrap>: Closest JATS analogue for publishable tables with captions and notes.

Pandoc Table: Closest Pandoc analogue for structured document tables.

Testing

During property-based (a.k.a generative) testing, the properties of the Table type are generated using the following strategies.

Property	Complexity	Description	Strategy
`caption`	Min+	No caption.	`None`
	Low+	Generate up to two arbitrary paragraphs.	`option::of(vec_paragraphs(2))`
	Max	Generate up to three arbitrary, non-recursive, block nodes.	`option::of(vec_blocks_non_recursive(3))`
`rows`	Min+	Generate up to a 2x2 table with a header row.	`table_rows_with_header(2,2)`
	Low+	Generate up to a 3x3 table with a header row.	`table_rows_with_header(3,3)`
	High+	Generate up to four, arbitrary, table rows.	`vec(TableRow::arbitrary(), size_range(1..=4))`
	Max	Generate up to eight, arbitrary, table rows.	`vec(TableRow::arbitrary(), size_range(1..=8))`
`notes`	Min+	No notes.	`None`
	Low+	Generate an arbitrary paragraph.	`option::of(vec_paragraphs(1))`
	Max	Generate up to two arbitrary, non-recursive, block nodes.	`option::of(vec_blocks_non_recursive(2))`
