23.2.2 Creating table groups

You can assign group names to tables, and then apply properties to all tables in the group with a single setting. Each table can belong to only a single table group.

Create table groups in the configuration file

To create table groups and assign tables to groups in the configuration file:

[TableGroup]

; TableID or format = group name used in other Table sections for ID

; the filter first looks for TableID, then group, then table format

TableID=tablegroupname

FM table format=tablegroupname

For example, suppose your document contains table types you use for charts (Format A and Format B), and others you use as containers for text frames (Format C and Unruled). Suppose you used one Format C table for a chart instead of a text frame. You could group the renegade table with the other chart-type tables by specifying its TableID:

[TableGroup]

Format A=charts

Format B=charts

aa654321=charts

Format C=textframes

Unruled=textframes

Create table groups with configuration markers

Another way to create a table group, or assign tables to existing table groups, is to insert configuration markers in the tables in your FrameMaker document, with content as follows:

[TableGroup]=tablegroupname

This way you can avoid having to look up TableIDs and FileIDs. See §31.2.8.3 Overriding table properties for HTML.
