Tables in HTML export

Tables in HTML export

How does org identify which table rows should be exported with header tags?
It seems rows above a horizontal line are automatically converted using
<th> tags. Is there a way of controlling this?

My specific use case is that I have a multi-row table header created in an
R code block. I do not have a way of creating a horizontal line, and
without that the header is not being recognised as the header in html
export.

Would be grateful for any pointers.

All rows above the first separator (or the second one if ) are
considered to be part of the header.

See `org-html-table-row-open-tag', probably.

I defined the following macro.

#+MACRO: hlmacro (eval (org-table-insert-hline))

Then, inserting {{{hlmacro}}} in a table cell (I can do that in a table
generated by a code block) results in insertion of an hline below the cell
at the beginning of export. The header is then correctly identified.
