. This diagram shows how the precedence rules may be used to achieve the effect of hidden internal borders. The two by two table is surrounded by a solid border. The HTML table specification and style rules following the image cause the vertical border between the two cells in the first row and the horizontal border between the two cells in the first column to disappear.
