 Congratulations! You now have an accessible table! Remember, for even more accessibility, you can break down larger complex tables into smaller ones with headings. If the data in a table is not tabular, then it should be presented as a [[public:nnels:etext:lists|list]] or paragraph. Remember not to split or merge cells when creating your accessible table. See presentation for more explanation. Congratulations! You now have an accessible table!
