+### Custom column template
+ 
+Customize table column so it can be integrated with other components.
+:::demo Activate custom column template by adding the `inline-template` attribute. By default, the context of `el-table-column` is the one where `el-table` lies, and you can customize it with the `context` attribute, e.g. `:context="_self"` refers to the current context. This is useful when sometimes Table is encapsulated into another component, and `table-column` is distributed by slots. In `el-column`, you have access to the following data: row, column, $index and store (state management of Table).
+```html
+<template>
+  <el-table
+    :data="tableData"
+    border
+    style="width: 100%">
+    <el-table-column
