### Additional guidance for VA

- Tables should be used to display tabular data, which is structured data made up of rows and columns. A table allows the information to be easily interpreted by visually associating row and column headers.
- _Do not_ use tables for layout purposes. Tables should only be used for data that has inherent relationships, not for design purposes.
