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.

Description

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.
