Subject: (dsssl) spanning rows/columns in tables From: curt brune <curt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 13 Nov 2001 20:01:23 -0800 |
Hi, I'm trying to create a table where some cells span multiple columns and some cells span multiple rows. The ASCII art layout I want is this: --------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | Cell B | Cell C | | | | | | |-------------------------------- | | | | | Cell A | Cell D | Cell E | | | | | | |-------------------------------- | | | | | Cell F | | | | --------------------------------------------------------- | | | Cell G | | | --------------------------------------------------------- I'm targeting the TEX backend to generate PDF files. Spanning columns works fine, but spanning rows is not working. I'm using (make table), (make table-row) and (make table-cell) to create my table for a custom article title page. An excerpt from my stylesheet is below. I'm having the difficulty with "Cell A" in the above picture -- see below I have set this cell's n-rows-spanned to 3. When I do this, however, the output is screwy -- it results in the width of Cell A becoming very large, crowding the other cells (B,C,D,E,F) off the page (Cell G remains OK). It does span three rows, though.... Is there something I'm missing? Is there another way to do this? Is pdfjadetex broken? On a side note I also tried using nested tables to work around spanning rows/columns, but pdfjadetex just spun forever (openjade ran fine).
