+## <a name="Attachment Tables"></a> Attachment Tables
+
+Controlling the look and feel of attachment tables is a little bit more complex than for the rest of a skin. By default the attachment table is a standard TWiki table, and the look is controlled in the same ay as other tables. In a very few cases you may want to change the _content_ of the table as well.
+
+The format of standard attachment tables is defined through the use of special _TWiki template macros_ which by default are defined in the `templates/twiki.tmpl` template using the `%TMPL:DEF` macro syntax described in [[TWikiTemplates]]. These macros are:
+
+<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
+  <tr>
+    <th bgcolor="#99CCCC"><strong> Macro </strong></th>
+    <th bgcolor="#99CCCC"><strong> Description </strong></th>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:files:header</code></td>
+    <td> Standard title bar </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:files:row</code></td>
+    <td> Standard row </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:files:footer</code></td>
+    <td> Footer for all screens </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:files:header:A</code></td>
+    <td> Title bar for upload screens, with attributes column </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:files:row:A</code></td>
+    <td> Row for upload screen </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:files:footer:A</code></td>
+    <td> Footer for all screens </td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+The format of tables of file versions in the Upload screen are also formattable, using the macros:
+
+<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
+  <tr>
+    <th bgcolor="#99CCCC"><strong> Macro </strong></th>
+    <th bgcolor="#99CCCC"><strong> Description </strong></th>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:versions:header</code></td>
+    <td> Header for versions table on upload screen </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:versions:row</code></td>
+    <td> Row format for versions table on upload screen </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>ATTACH:versions:footer</code></td>
+    <td> Footer for versions table on upload screen </td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+The `ATTACH:row` macros are expanded for each file in the attachment table, using the following special tags:
+
+<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
+  <tr>
+    <th bgcolor="#99CCCC"><strong> Tag </strong></th>
+    <th bgcolor="#99CCCC"><strong> Description </strong></th>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_URL%</code></td>
+    <td> URL that will recover the file </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_REV%</code></td>
+    <td> Revision of this file e.g. "1.1" </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_ICON%</code></td>
+    <td> A file icon suitable for representing the attachment content </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_FILE%</code></td>
+    <td> The name of the file </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_SIZE%</code></td>
+    <td> The size of the file </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_DATE%</code></td>
+    <td> The date the file was uploaded </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_USER%</code></td>
+    <td> The user who uploaded it </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_COMMENT%</code></td>
+    <td> The comment they put in when uploading it </td>
+  </tr>
+  <tr>
+    <td><code>%A_ATTRS%</code></td>
+    <td> The attributes of the file as seen on the upload screen e.g "h" for a hidden file </td>
+  </tr>
+</table>
+
+Note: it is easy to change the look and feel for an entire site by editing the `twiki.tmpl` template file. However, to simplify upgrading, you should avoid doing this. Instead, write a skin-specific template file e.g. `attach.myskin.tmpl` and use `%TMPL:INCLUDE{attach.myskin.tmpl}%` to include it in each of your skin files. As long as it it included _after_ twiki.tmpl, your macro definitions will override the defaults defined there.
