Table Data Cell (NISO JATS table model)

One ordinary cell in the body of a table, as opposed to a cell in the table header. (This element is based on and intended to be converted easily to the XHMTL td element.)

Remarks

Use W3C documentation for the XHTML 1.1 table model (https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-modularization/abstract_modules.html#s_tablemodule).
