Amendments

Example in the eAIP Specimen	n/a
How to insert or delete the element	Can be amended freely (not relevant to Amendment).
How to change the whole element (insert and delete)	Can be amended freely (not relevant to Amendment).
How to change this element's attributes	Can be amended freely (not relevant to Amendment).
How to change this element's content	Not applicable.
Additional comments	To insert or delete a whole column, each cell (td and th) in that column has to be marked as deleted, and the corresponding x:col element must simply be inserted or deleted. If there is any column or row spanning involving that column, the colspan and row

Attributes

align Optional Choice: left, center, right, justify, char
Horizontal alignment of cell contents. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on cells formatting.
The actual alignment of a cell is the first found in the order of precedence: td/th, x:col, x:colgroup, x:tr, x:thead/x:tfoot/x:tbody. The default is "left" for td and "center" for th. Note: x:table is not part of the order of precedence, as opposed to HTML 4.01. See also the W3C's HTML 4.01 specification of align.
char Optional Type: text
Character on which horizontal alignment of cell contents is applied. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on cells formatting.
Most browsers do not support this attribute as of September 2002. See also the W3C's HTML 4.01 specification of char.
charoff Optional Type: text
See the W3C's HTML 4.01 specification of charoff. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on cells formatting.
Most browsers do not support this attribute as of September 2002.
class Optional Type: space-separated XML name tokens
Style class selector. Any valid class name can be input here, as it depends on the set of style sheets you have developed (for HTML classes implementation, see html/eAIP.css in the eAIP Specimen). Several classes can be specified using a space as separator. Note that class names are the same for both HTML and XSL-FO.
id Optional Type: unique ID
Identifier for the element. This must be unique for within an eAIP, which is enforced at validation. The id value can then be used for reference from other elements, as it is the case with the Ref attribute of an e:Abbreviation.
span Optional Type: text
Default: 1
title Optional Type: text
This attribute allows to provide some more information about the element. It is not always used: check with the style sheets. When it is used in HTML, elements will have their title attribute displayed as a pop-up when the mouse is left over them for a while, much like Abbreviations. It is not yet used in XSL-FO.
valign Optional Choice: top, middle, bottom, baseline
Vertical alignment of cell contents. This attribute should be avoided in favour of a style class, as it gives more control on cells formatting.
The actual alignment of a cell is the first found in the order of precedence: td/th, x:tr, x:thead/x:tfoot/x:tbody, x:col, x:colgroup. The default is "middle" for both td and th. Note: x:table is not part of the order of precedence, as opposed to HTML 4.01. See also the W3C's HTML 4.01 specification of valign.
width Optional Type: text
Column width.
xml:lang Optional Type: XML name token
This is a standard XML attribute, which specifies the language in which the element's content is expressed. The value must be a valid ISO-639 (and ISO-3166, additionally) language code, such as "en" for English, "fr" for French and "de-CH" for Swiss German.
When used on the root element, this attribute sets the default language for the entire eAIP. On any other element, it overrides the default (or the parent) language, so that the element can be presented differently (using appropriate XSLT code) or in order to apply selective process to it, such as spell-checking in the right language.
xmlns:e Fixed http://www.eurocontrol.int/xmlns/AIM/eAIP
This namespace node defines the "e" namespace, which groups all eAIP specific elements. For more information, refer to the W3C's document Namespaces in XML. This node is implied: it does not need to be set explicitly (except on e:eAIP), but can be if needed.
xmlns:x Fixed http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
This namespace node defines the "x" namespace, which groups all XHTML elements. This node is implied: it does not need to be set explicitly (except on e:eAIP), but can be if needed.
xmlns:xlink Fixed http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink
This namespace node defines the "xlink" namespace. This node is implied: it does not need to be set explicitly (except on e:eAIP), but can be if needed.
