ParameterDescription
ALIGN= CENTER | LEFT | RIGHT Displays the element left flush, right flush, or centered relative to the display or table.
CLASS=classname Specifies the class of the tag being defined. This is used to associate a sub-classed style sheet with the tag.
ID=value An SGML identifier used as the target for hypertext links or for naming particular elements in associated style sheets. Valid ID values must begin with a letter. The underbar character, "_", may be used in the ID name. The ID should be unique throughout the scope of the document. If more than one object with the same identifier exists in a document, a collection of those named items is created that can only be referenced by ordinal position.
SPAN=n Specifies how many columns are in the group.
STYLE=css1-properties Specifies an in-line style sheet for the tag.
TITLE=text Used to provide advisory information.
VALIGN=BASELINE | BOTTOM | MIDDLE | TOP Displays the elements aligned at the top or bottom within the element.
BASELINE Vertical align to the baseline of the font.
BOTTOM Vertical align to the bottom of the element.
MIDDLE Vertical align to the middle of the element.
TOP Vertical align to the top of the element.
WIDTH=n Sets the initial width of the element. This attribute may be initially set in pixels or percentages.
