<colspec>

A column specification provides information about a single column in a table that is based on the OASIS Exchange Table Model. The information might include a column name and number, cell content alignment, or column width.

The following attributes are available on this element: localization attributes, ID and conref attributes, @align, @base, @char, @charoff, @class, @colsep, @outputclass, @rowheader, @rowsep, and the attributes defined below.

Specifies the number of the column in the table, where 1 represents the first logical column.
Specifies a name for the column. The <entry> element can use the @colname attribute to refer to the column.
Specifies the column width. Valid values are either a proportional or fixed measure:
Proportional measure
Specifies the width of each column in relationship to the width of the other columns. The value is a space-separated list of relative column widths. Each column width is specified as a positive integer or decimal number followed by an asterisk character.
Fixed measure
A value of a coefficient followed by a unit of measurement. The coefficients are positive integers or fixed point numbers. The fixed unit values are case-insensitive. The allowed units of measure are cm (centimeters), in (inches), pi (picas), and pt (points). The default unit of measure is pt.
If the @colwidth attribute is not specified or is empty, a proportional measure of 1* is assumed.
