<col>
The <col>
tag is optionally used in a <tabular>
environment.
Its primary use is to define horizontal alignment within a column or to
specify by percentage how much of the tabular environment the column should
occupy.
If the <col>
tag does appear, it must occur prior to any rows and must occur
exactly as many times as there will be columns.

Notes

tag inside a cell necessitates the
use of a <col>
preamble to the rows of a <tabular>
.
