/ Karlheinz Eckmeier 46372 <Karlheinz.Eckmeier.extern@ae3.hypo.de> was heard to say:
| I've encountered a problem with horizontal spans in tables:
|
| I'm specifying a horizontal span across all columns in a table
| and using this span on the first row in the table.
|
| My output (pdf) shows an empty cell in column1, the text shows up in
| the cell in colums 2. The rest of the row is displayed as a span
| with no border line on the right end of the table.
|
| The problem seems to only arise if the span is used on the first row
| of the table. It works if used onto i.e. the second row.
|
| Please see the attatched example containing two tables:
| one with a span in the first row (showing the problem) and a
| second table with the first two rows swapped (no problem occuring).
I don't see the source document in your attachments, but I'm willing
to bet it's a JadeTeX problem. JadeTeX has a rough time with tables.
Try the HTML backend, if you get the right results there, it's probably
a JadeTeX problem. If you get the wrong results, it's probably a coding
problem in your source table.
Cheers,
norm
