}
</pre>

== Notes ==
* The distance between the table border and the borders of the cells on the edge of the table is the table's padding for that side, plus the relevant border spacing distance. Ie. padding-left + horizontal border-spacing.
* The width of the table is the distance from the left inner padding edge to the right inner padding edge (including the border spacing but excluding padding and border). But in HTML and XHTML 1, the width of the table element is the distance from left border edge to right border edge.
