http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=8404 --- Comment #11 from Shelley Powers <shelleyp@burningbird.net> 2009-11-30 22:50:10 --- (In reply to comment #6) > I would expect a <figure> to be able to contain a <table> instead of an image. > They may be labeled differently, but in scientific literature tables are > presented in exactly the same way as graphics; both will be numbered, both may > have a long explanatory caption, etc. It is overkill to require two entirely > different markup structures in order to represent the same structure with one > case applying to graphics and the other to tables when the two cases are easily > distinguished based on the actual content. > Perhaps because of my experience writing tech books, but tables are usually references as Table 1, Table 2, while code examples are Example 1, and figures are Figure 1 and Figure 2, and so on. I didn't think that scientific publications were that different. At least not the ones I can recall. We have an element for tables. We don't need another element for tables. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
