The newspaperTable tag allows a long, narrow table to be wrapped
so that it becomes a short, wide table. This allows more information
to be shown on a single screen. This is commonly used to present
checkboxes for a long list of items.
A data table for rendering long skinny tables as short wide
table by wrapping the table over a specified number of columns.
Unless otherwise specified, all attributes accept static values or EL expressions.
Obsolete
On May 17th, the functionality of the newspaperTable component was merged into t:dataTable (Extended DataTable) for the tomahawk-1.1.3-SNAPSHOT.jar. The newspaperTable component will be removed in the future. Please use t:dataTable instead.
Upgrade to t:dataTable by replacing all references to t:newspaperTable with t:dataTable.
