	<description>
    The titles of columns are typically read directly from the DOM (from the cells in the `tag THEAD` element), but it can often be useful to either override existing values, or have DataTables actually construct a header with column titles for you (for example if there is not `tag THEAD` element in the table before DataTables is constructed). This option is available to provide that ability.

    Please note that when constructing a header, DataTables can only construct a simple header with a single cell for each column. Complex headers with `colspan` and `rowspan` attributes must either already be defined in the document, or be constructed using standard DOM / jQuery methods.
