+
+<dt><a name="class"></a><strong>class</strong>&nbsp;(base)</dt>
+<dd>
+
+
+Create a Class object (Python-style object model).
+
+The class object can be instantiated by calling itself.
+Any class functions or shared parameters can be attached to this object.
+Attaching a table to the class object makes this table shared between
+all instances of this class. For object parameters use the __init__ function.
+Classes can inherit member functions and values from a base class.
+Class can be instantiated by calling them. All parameters will be passed
+to the __init__ function of this class - if such a function exists.
+The __init__ function must be used to set any object parameters that are not shared
+with other objects of this class. Any return values will be ignored.
+
+
+<h3>Parameters</h3>
