# `<simpletable>`

The `<simpletable>` element is used for tables that are regular in structure and do not need a caption. Choose the `<simpletable>` element when you want to show information in regular rows and columns. For example, multi-column tabular data such as phone directory listings or parts lists are good candidates for `<simpletable>`. Another good use of `<simpletable>` is for information that seems to beg for a three-part definition list; the `@keycol` attribute may be used to indicate which column represents the "key" or term-like column of your structure.
