Tables in HTML export

The HTML export backend uses org-html-table-default-attributes when exporting Org tables to HTML. By default, the exporter does not draw frames and cell borders. To change for this for a table, use the following lines before the table in the Org file:

#+CAPTION: This is a table with lines around and between cells
#+ATTR_HTML: :border 2 :rules all :frame border

Note that table attributes are deprecated in HTML5 in favor of CSS. When the doctype is set to HTML5 (see HTML doctypes), Org ignores org-html-table-default-attributes. ‘#+ATTR_HTML:’ is still respected, but not recommended.

The HTML export backend preserves column groupings in Org tables (see Column Groups) when exporting to HTML.
