Re: question regarding multicolumn table code

I think the cells aren't really merged. It is only that the
"cellInfo(cell).multicolumn" is set to one of these values:
///
enum {
///
CELL_NORMAL = 0,
///
CELL_BEGIN_OF_MULTICOLUMN,
///
CELL_PART_OF_MULTICOLUMN
};


So, If cell 1 and 2 are merged, the first one sets the multicolumn to
.._BEGIN_... the second one to .._PART_...

But this doesn't work here: I have this enum

enum {
                ///
                CELL_NORMAL = 0,
                ///
                CELL_BEGIN_OF_MULTICOLUMN,
                ///
                CELL_PART_OF_MULTICOLUMN,
                ///
                CELL_BEGIN_OF_MULTIROW,
                ///
                CELL_PART_OF_MULTIROW
        };

When setting two cells to be a multirow I set the first one as CELL_BEGIN_OF_MULTIROW and all other 
selected ones to CELL_PART_OF_MULTIROW:

void Tabular::setMultiRow(idx_type cell, idx_type number)
{
        CellData & cs = cellInfo(cell);
        cs.multirow = CELL_BEGIN_OF_MULTIROW;
        cs.alignment = column_info[cellColumn(cell)].alignment;
        setBottomLine(cell, bottomLine(cell + number - 1));
        for (idx_type i = 1; i < number; ++i) {
                CellData & cs1 = cellInfo(cell + i);
                cs1.multirow = CELL_PART_OF_MULTIROW;
                cs.inset->appendParagraphs(cs1.inset->paragraphs());
                cs1.inset->clear();
        }
        updateIndexes();
}

However, this doesn't work and I can't figure out why.

Btw. what does this line in the above routine do?:

cs.inset->appendParagraphs(cs1.inset->paragraphs());

thanks and regards
