4.2. An informal table

The structure of an informal table is similar to that of a normal table, but is has no title. Therefore, we present in Example 4.2 how such a table can be marked up. In most cases this example is rich enough to let you construct most of your real-life table.

Example 4.2. A simple informal table (no title)
