# 5.5:H305004 Provide summaries for tables. ## Improper design There was no usage of summary in the TABLE label providing the table summary explanation. Improper design:
      <TABLE border="1">
      <CAPTION>
      Temperature and in-far red level in the main cities of Taiwan
      </CAPTION>
      <TR>
      <TH>main cities</TH>
      <TH>temperature</TH>
      <TH>in-far red level</TH>
      </TR>
      <TR>
      <TD>Taipei</TD>
      <TD>35 degree</TD>
      <TD>average</TD>
      </TR>
      <!--brief table content-->
      </TABLE>
End of example ## Proper demonstration Use of summary to provide detailed table explanation. Proper example:
      <TABLE border="1" summary="in the table of temperature and in-far red level in Taiwan cities,
      the first column represent main cities, the second column represent temperature,
      and the third column represent in-far red level">
      <CAPTION>
      Temperature and in-far red level in Taiwan cities
      </CAPTION>
      <TR>
      <TH>main cities</TH>
      <TH>temperature</TH>
      <TH>in far-red level</TH>
      </TR>
      <TR>
      <TD>Taipei</TD>
      <TD>35 degree</TD>
      <TD>average</TD>
      </TR>
      <!--brief table content-->
      </TABLE>
