Revision history for Perl extension HTML::Table.
2.07-b1
17 September 2007
- Changed order of output for table sections, to comply with the HTML 4.01 standard.
2.07-beta
13 September 2007
- Added THEAD, TFOOT and TBODY sections.
Request from Miguel Santinho <msantinho@simplicidade.com>.
There are now methods that take a section and section number as parameters.
ie. setSectionCell ( 'tbody', 0, 2, 3, 'Cell 2,3');
Existing methods default to working on the first tbody section, for backwards
compatibility.
You can have only one each of tfoot and thead sections, but multiple tbody sections.
