We love the Drupal table module. However It comes without table summary. We need table summary for

1. SEO
2. barrier free usability: screenreaders use the summary tag
3. Validated code. Without table summary, tables do not validate in the w3c checker.

We have implemented this feature through patch on a client website http://joint-surgeon.com/orthopedic-services/price-list

Please find the patched version of the Drupal 6.x table module with table summary feature attached to this thread.

How do you use it?

Write the table summary after the table class in the first line of the table:

[table=js-table summary="yoursummary" firstcolumn | etc
