Definition and Usage
HTML5 no longer supports the <col> charoff attribute.
The charoff attribute specifies the alignment offset for content relative to the character specified by the char attribute.
The charoff attribute can only be used when the align attribute is set to "char" and the char attribute has been set.
Syntax
