[cml/ccml-discuss] CMLTable - major revisions

[peter murray-r. <pm...@ca...>]

As part of a collaboration with th engineering consortium KIM (which 
is working on Immortal Information) we are developing Tables for CML. 
These have now been revamped by Justin Davies and me and the latest 
version have been committed.

There are three approaches:
column-based:
  arrayList (new) with array children
row based:
  tableHeader + tableRowList/tableRow/tableCell (similar to XHTML tables)
content based
  tableHeader + tableContent (delimited ASCII) - similar to CSV

There are prototypes in 
the  "org/xmlcml/cml/element/test/examples/misc" directory.

Please let us have your comments.

These changes (in Jumbo5.3) will break existing tables, but we feel 
it is necessary (the intermediate elements make processing much 
better). As a result of the changes it is easier to convert the 
tables into graphs, etc.Minor changes may still be possible
