Traditional Tables

Most traditional tables use three lines to separate the caption, header and body. In the following examples, the cell borders have been removed and the three lines added.

The general strategy for adding a line that extend across an entire table is to create a new row and use the COLSPAN= modifier in the <TD> container. Provide the number of columns in the table.
