[PAC] TBody and TFoot but no THead

[LupinoTech]

I have a <table> from XML input (xmltex) with a <tbody> and a <tfoot>, but no <thead> or <th> cells.

• If I tag the <tbody> as /TBody and the <tfoot> as /TFoot, PAC issues a warning: "wrongful use of TBody".
• If I move the <tr> from the body under /Table and leave the /TFoot, PAC issues a hard error for each /TR: "wrongful use of TR".
• The only thing that PAC accepts is to move the /TRs of both <tbody> and <tfoot> directly under the /Table, but that destroys the distinction between "normal" rows and footer rows.

Would you mind adding the validator to the subject title like [PAC] TBody and TFoot ...?

A concrete example would also help with testing etc.

The title is updated; I also added MWEs and the relevant source code excerpt in the comment below.

Recording such bugs is fine, but they should also be reported.

Here are MWEs:

• /TBody and /TFoot: tbody_and_tfoot.pdf
• /Tr and /TFoot tr_and_tfoot.pdf
• all /Tr all_tr.pdf

the source code for all three PDF files is the same (for copyright reasons, I omitted the material below and above the table and filled the table contents with placeholders):

    <table class="void">
      <col width="0.8"/>
      <col width="0.2" style="text-align:right"/>
      <tfoot>
        <tr>
          <td style="text-align:left" colspan="2">
            <p><?tex \hbox to 5mm\bgroup?><sup>1)</sup><?tex \egroup?>some table note</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tfoot>
      <tbody>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <p>(redacted)</p>
          </td>
          <td>
            <p>(Value)</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <p>(redacted)</p>
          </td>
          <td>
            <p>(Value)<sup>1)</sup></p>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <p>(redacted)</p>
          </td>
          <td>
            <p>(Value)</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <p>(redacted)</p>
          </td>
          <td>
            <p>(Value)</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
          <td>
            <p>(redacted)</p>
          </td>
          <td>
            <p>(Value)</p>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>

exerpts aren't really MWE (as in minimal "working" example); doubt you can feed the above to PAC, can you?

[LupinoTech]

you can feed the attached PDF files into PAC… They show exactly what i stated in the OP

(addendum: The PDF files are the MWE; the source code below is just that you can comprehend the table structure that the PDFs are rendered from)

[FrankMittelbach]

ah, blind me ... sorry for the noise

[u-fischer]

Did you reported the issue to PAC?

[LupinoTech]

Not yet. I asked in the tex.SE chat and David recommended to file a report here first.
