Hmm. The doc says that FlowLeafElement doesn't have any children. But Tables can certainly contain other tables, right? And aren't the headers/rows/cells considered children?
FlowLeafElement also has a text property. Are you going to be overriding that? Is it just too hard to make a TableElement extend FlowElement and in other ways be treated as an InlineGraphicElement? -Alex On 6/8/14 12:46 PM, "Harbs" <harbs.li...@gmail.com> wrote: >Please see this issue.
