                        <p>In some tables it can be useful to not need to specify any data source for a column, as it's content is automatically generated (for example using fnRender). This is fairly common with add, edit and delete columns for a CRUD interface. You can now use the <b>mData</b> set to <i>null</i> to specify that the column has no data source. DataTables will render this column as empty.</p>

37	<h1>Preamble</h1>
38	<p>In some tables it can be useful to not need to specify any data source for a column, as it's content is automatically generated (for example using fnRender). This is fairly common with add, edit and delete columns for a CRUD interface. You can now use the <b>mData</b> set to <i>null</i> to specify that the column has no data source. DataTables will render this column as empty.</p>
