Does html table export require that the top row be treated as a header?

Does html table export require that the top row be treated as a header?

[John Hendy]

I have a document I will export via pdf and html. My table is like so:

#+attr_latex: align={lp{0.8\textwidth}}
#+attr_html: width="600px"
| *R1* | stuff            |
|------+------------------|
| *R2* | more stuff       |
|------+------------------|
| *R2* | some third stuff |

I'd like horizontal separators in LaTeX and don't care one way or the
other for html so since there didn't seem to be a way to have them in
one and not the other I inserted them. When I export the html, it
looks as though since I have separators it exports the top row as
class=th instead of tr like a normal row. This bolds and centers it.

Any way to have it treat the top row as a regular row in the presence
of midlines?


Thanks,
John
