I want to try making that using tabular and multicolumn.
My first row has 33 columns, the first doesn't have a border.
The second row has 5 columns with the 2nd column for the 2nd-5th columns
above, and so on.
The third row has 4 columns, with the 2nd column covering the 2nd-17th
columns at the top.
...
But I am unsure how to get some of the columns to start at certain places.
Can anyone share any example?
Or should I just use a tool like xfig or inkscape to recreate this?
I just didn't want to try to figure out making the top 33 columns all
sized correctly. Unless some tool can do what I want without my manual
adjustments.
I have a few tables like this to create.
The tedious but (moderately) straightforward approach is to start with
an Nx33 table, then merge cells by drag-selecting them and clicking the
multicolumn button in the table toolbar (or using the right-click table
dialog and selecting multicolumn). Separate borders can be set (the
usual way) for multicolumn cells.
