’table-footer-group’) element T is not a ’table’ or ’inline-table’, an object
corresponding to a ’table’ element will be generated between P and T. This
object will span all consecutive siblings (in the document tree) of T that
require a ’table’ parent: ’table-row’, ’table-row-group’, ’table-header-group’,
’table-footer-group’, ’table-column’, ’table-column-group’, and ’caption’.
5. If a child T of a ’table-row’ element P is not a ’table-cell’ element, an object
corresponding to a ’table-cell’ element will be generated between P and T.
This object spans all consecutive siblings of T that are not ’table-cell’
elements.
Example(s):
In this XML example, a ’table’ element is assumed to contain the HBOX
element:

because the associated style sheet is:
HBOX { display: table-row }
VBOX { display: table-cell }
Example(s):
In this example, three ’table-cell’ elements are assumed to contain the text in
the ROWs. Note that the text is further encapsulated in anonymous inline boxes,
as explained in visual formatting model [p. 98] :
This is the top row.
This is the middle row.
This is the bottom row.
The style sheet is:
STACK { display: inline-table }
ROW { display: table-row }
D { display: inline; font-weight: bolder }
HTML user agents are not required to create anonymous objects according to
the above rules.
17.3 Column selectors
Table cells may belong to two contexts: rows and columns. However, in the
source document cells are descendants of rows, never of columns. Nevertheless,
some aspects of cells can be influenced by setting properties on columns.
The following properties apply to column and column-group elements:
’border’
The various border properties apply to columns only if ’border-collapse’ is
set to ’collapse’ on the table element. In that case, borders set on columns
and column groups are input to the conflict resolution algorithm [p. 264] that
