If you touch this then please add support for multirow-cells. It should not be too much more effort if you rip this code apart anyway. > since this stuff is all over the place the attached patch is not exactly > tiny or clean. > > it is not finished yet, but most things should be ok. > > since this tabular stuff is such a mess and tricky i'd like to ask for > some input. > > basically: is this the way to go? I don't know. I do know (because I have some experience with grid-like data in other contexts) that it will be some work to support multicolumn/multirow cells even if you do not store dummy cells, because then you have to do the bookkeeping elsewhere. One probably has to implement it fully and see whether it is better. Georg
