There are three cases here.
The point of how I have edited the code and composed the ASCII
art versions is to come up with examples which will be legible if
embossed in 40-column Braille.
Jason, If you get a chance tell me if there is anything horribly
stupid about my assumptions regarding preparing this to be dumped
to Braille. If you review nothing else, check the ASCII art,
locatable by PRE markup. Will that be legible in Braille at
40 columns?
Dave, I referred to some SPANs and not only [TH | TD] with
"headers." If that is strictly illegal, I will take it out.
There are examples of SCOPE and HEADERS in this, along with one
table that one reads by rows, one that is primarily read by
columns, and a Z-table (the expense report) where both row and
column heads are input conditions and the output dimension is the
cell content (called Z-table to imagine out-of-the-page).
I need to get these to Judy tomorrow early (EST) if I am going
to get them Brailled for Austin. So I have just the rest
of the day in Australia and the morning in Europe for y'all
to save me from my sins...
