Scope Property in Table Cells Menu

Am struggling to find an answer or a Help feature for this?

Can anyone please tell me what "Scope" means in the General tab for Cell properties in a table (in Moodle 2.3)?

The options I am given are row, column, row group and column group.

Many thanks for any help offered.

It translates directly into the corresponding HTML (<th scope="...">). The relevant part of the specification is here: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html#adef-scope

http://outer-court.com/tech/tutorials/advanced-tables/ might be a more readable reference for what this means. Getting this right is helps accessibility.
