HTML::FormatTableCell - Format HTML Table

SYNOPSIS

require HTML::FormatTableCell;
@ISA=qw(HTML::FormatTableCell);

DESCRIPTION

The HTML::FormatTableCell is a base class used to record information about a table entry as part of FormatTable processing. It is necessary to record information for formatting into languages such as nroff tbl which require formatting information ahead of the table data.

	rowspan - number of rows cell spans (default is 1)
	colspan - number of columns cell spans (default is 1)
	align - alignment of cell contents (default is 'left')
	valign - vertical alignment of cell (default is 'middle')
	contents - contents of cell (default is '')
