[ISO/IEC 29500-1 1st Edition]

17.4.63 tblStyle (Referenced Table Style)

This element specifies the style ID of the table style which shall be used to format the contents of this table.

This formatting is applied at the following location in the style hierarchy:

  • Document defaults

  • Table styles (this element)

  • Numbering styles

  • Paragraph styles

  • Character styles

  • Direct Formatting

This means that all properties specified in the style element (§17.7.4.17) with a styleId which corresponds to the value in this element's val attribute are applied to the table at the appropriate level in the hierarchy.

If this element is omitted, or it references a style which does not exist, then no table style shall be applied to the current table. As well, this property is ignored if the table properties are themselves part of a table style.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment:

<w:tblPr>
  <w:tblStyle w:val="TestTableStyle" />
</w:tblPr>

This table specifies that it inherits all of the table properties specified by the table style with a styleId of TestTableStyle. end example]

Parent Elements

tblPr (§17.4.60); tblPr (§17.4.59); tblPr (§17.7.6.4); tblPr (§17.7.6.3)

Attributes

Description

val (String Value)

Specifies that its contents contain a string.

The contents of this string are interpreted based on the context of the parent XML element.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML fragment:

<w:pPr>
  <w:pStyle w:val="heading1" /> 
</w:pPr>

The value of the val attribute is the ID of the associated paragraph style's styleId.

However, consider the following fragment:

<w:sdtPr>
  <w:alias w:val="SDT Title Example" />
  …
</w:sdtPr>

In this case, the decimal number in the val attribute is the caption of the parent structured document tag. In each case, the value is interpreted in the context of the parent element. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_String simple type (§22.9.2.13).

[Note: The W3C XML Schema definition of this element’s content model (CT_String) is located in §A.1. end note]
