  <chapter>
    <table>
      <head>
        <cell>header cell 1</cell>
        <cell>header cell 2</cell>
      </head>
      <body>
        <row>
          <cell>body cell 1</cell>
          <cell>body cell 2</cell>
        </row>
        <row>
          <cell span="2">double width body cell</cell>
        </row>
      </body>
    </table>
